Rodrigo De Paul’s return to Racing is losing more and more temperaturebut at least it will leave a good dollar figure for the club’s goals. Brand new MLS champion with Inter Miami, the world champion midfielder will now become a player who belongs to the Florida franchise. After a good season and having met the objectives, Rodri will be bought from Atlético de Madrid for $17 million and will sign a contract extension until the end of 2029. In this way, a return to Avellaneda does not appear viable in the short term.
Inter Miami buys De Paul and dollars enter Racing
Although it seems like bad news, it also has a positive side. And it has to do with the fact that Racing will charge a good amount in dollars for training rights. As in every transfer made with De Paul since he left the club, The Academy will receive 3.5% for having trained the midfielder (a lower percentage of 0.75% is from Valencia who bought it before the age of 23). In this case, in the move from Atlético to Inter Miami about 600,000 dollars would have to reach Avellaneda which will be very good for the transfer market. In fact, that money could be used in part to find a replacement for Facundo Mura.
Mura would be his new partner in 2026
The right back, precisely, has great chances of continuing his career as a teammate of De Paul. At the end of the year he will have the pass in his possession and already has an offer to go to the MLS. Marcelo Weigandt will return to Boca and Mura will end up leaving Racing for Inter Miamiin an operation that unfortunately will not leave the club any money. The problem is not new and was inherited from the presidency of Víctor Blanco, who never managed to improve the situation of the former Colón and Estudiantes.
If he arrives, he will be joining a club that has a lot of ties with the Academy. He already bought Avilés for 9 million dollars and is also about to execute the purchase option for Baltasar Rodríguez, agreed for 5 million dollars. Additionally, Saja was the main goalkeeper coach until he returned to Avellaneda to be Milito’s main winger.
FIFA’s solidarity mechanism is a system to compensate the clubs that trained a footballer, distributing 5% of the amount of each transfer between the teams where he played between the ages of 12 and 23, including Racing (his club of origin) and Valencia.
