The leadership leadership pointed to him after a follow -up made by the Technical Secretariat and Gustavo Costas already works with this reinforcement so that, in the short term, it is a replacement in the role of a key player of the team: in the club they aspire that Alanneris in Racing adapts to performing the work of Santiago Sosa.
Of 20 years, this footballer is a natural central flyer who comes from fulfilling that function in Columbus, a club from which he arose and made a weak campaign in this first semester of 2025. However, Forneris in Racing they see conditions to move as libero and steering wheel, according to the moments during each game. And knowingly, of course, of the hierarchy difference that exists today between them.
In one of the two friendlies that the Academy played against General Caballero, in the preseason in in the Eastern International Complex, Forneris at one time played Libero-Volante. There he began to look at the intention of coasts, then ratified RDA from the club.
In the seedbed they did not see a replacement potential to be libero and steering wheel
Since in the lower ones do not see a player who has those characteristics, in the club they decided to go for a player they consider from an important projection, already with a call in 2024 to the U20 team. He was summoned when Javier Mascherano was directed (he did not add minutes), today DT of the Inter Miami of Messi.
The few times that Sosa was missing in Racing, coasts mostly used last man in a line of three to Nazareno Colombo. That is, a natural defender but without the ability to get ahead of the environment and distribute the ball with the same clarity as an original 5.
Forneris completed all Racing’s preseason in Paraguay. That is why he went to the bank in the friendly against Olimpia. Instead, Duván Vergara, the other reinforcement so far this passes market, was left out because he joined the squad days ago.
Sosa, how the arrival of Forneris to Racing was agreed
The Academy closed the arrival of Forneris In exchange for $ 1,200,000 For Columbus for 80% of the file and the Santa Fe Club retained 20%. Alan signed a contract with Racing until the end of 2029. and a termination clause of 22,000,000 net euros was set.
The native of Balnearia, the same hometown Cordoba of Luciano Vietto, Forneris will surely go to the bank this Wednesday. That day Racing will cross with San Martín de San Juan for the 16 Avos of the Argentine Cup. The match will begin at 18.45 and the stage will be the Juan Gilberto Funes stadium in the province of San Luis.
Forneris, Racing reinforcement, played his last game on June 14, in the defeat of Columbus 2-1 as a Visitor of Temperley, for the first national. In total, in the semester he faced 16 gamesall from the start. He acted as double five or central steering wheel.
