Racing’s reinforcements are now six. Little by little the new team is taking shape. There were also several exits so there will be a renewal in several aspects. Gustavo Costas was clear in his request once his bond was signed. He met with Víctor Blanco and told him what he wanted and needed to reinforce. He was even versatile and gave him many alternatives in each position he decided to incorporate. Something that made things easier for the leadership. And although in some positions they brought him the main option, in others they chose the last options to make him more agile.
The Academy moved quickly in the transfer market and before the first week of work is over it has half a dozen new faces. Two forwards like Adrián Martínez and Maxi Salas, an offensive midfielder to play on the outside and make the lane like Santiago Solari, and an important goalkeeper like Facundo Cambeses. Here the intention is for him to arrive to fight equally for the position with Gabriel Arias. And they were joined by two number fives: Bruno Zuculini and Santiago Sosa, who will try not to notice the loss of Aníbal Moreno.
However Costas expects more reinforcements for his Racing. Does not conform. Both he and Víctor Blanco know that in the list that was put together In December there are positions to reinforce. Something that does not worry the DT but if it continues it will be close. He is clear that if more players do not arrive in a key area for the team, everything good that has been done could be complicated. That is why it is intended that they can be closed next week to at least have them working for 15 days before the premiere in the 2024 League Cup. A competition that already has a confirmed fixture.
The positions that Costas expect as reinforcements in Racing
The Academy is far from closing the transfer market. And it has to do with the fact that Gustavo Costas wants more. In a neuralgic position where the biggest problem was seen in 2023. Of course, the coach who followed all the games because he is a fan, does not want to trip over the same stone. He knows the defense is weak and new faces are needed. That added to the fact that Gonzalo Piovi, who was almost always a starter last year, left. Although his level was not good, no one came to replace him. In addition, Emiliano Insúa, another defender, retired.

This way The reinforcements that Costas still expects in Racing are all in the last line. We are talking about two central markers, preferably one of them left-footed, and a left-back. Of course that would be in the ideal framework. He could also adapt and have a left-footed player arrive who can play as a six or three like Piovi and one more center back to have more alternatives in the last line. He knows that today there are only Nazareno Colombo and Leo Sigali and it is necessary to have more possibilities, at least two per position.
