Luciano Vietto ended 2025 with a farewell on his Instagram account to Racing, the club from which he emerged and from which he left with sadness, with disappointment, because he felt that the club handled him poorly. A few days ago, in a note given to ESPN, he expressed his pain at the confirmation of his departure from the club due to the fact that no offer was made to him to renew the contract that expired this Wednesday. And now it’s time to say goodbye to the Academy through the social network.
“Today I have to say goodbye to what is my home, where I grew as a footballer and person, where they encouraged me to take a leap in my career as a professional to which I also, When it was my turn to return, he welcomed me with open arms full of affection,” Lucho’s post began on @lucianovietto.
The flyer added: “I am eternally grateful, today our professional paths separate, but the love for this club will be eternal.”
some numbers
Champion of the Sudamericana 2024 and this year’s Cup Winners’ Cup, Vietto left 39 games behind and eight goals, in addition to injuries that took away his continuity and made him lose ground in the coach’s consideration. Thus, Lucho was one of the three footballers who left on a free transfer in this transfer market, like Gabriel Arias and Facundo Mura.
“With Gustavo (Costas) it was not easy for me. When it comes to football we are polar opposites. It was very difficult for me to participate in the ideology that he has. But on my part it was always with respect. Personally, because of my manners, it didn’t help me much when it came to entering the field, from a football perspective,” Lucho shot last week.
The player who used roll 10, and who will be inherited by Baltasar Rodríguez, did not feel comfortable. “It cost me more than other colleagues, I don’t blame him. For the staff there was always great respect on my part, I wish him the best because he is in charge of Racing,” Luciano explained.
Before his farewell to Instagran, Lucho wanted to make something clear
And he clarified, in relation to his physical problems: “After the 1-1 in La Bombonera he was already available. When it wasn’t my turn to go in, it was because of the coach. When I was summoned to the bank I didn’t go in for anything technical. Not because I’m broken nor can I play 10 minutes. I don’t have any chronic problems. This problem happened to me twice in 15 years of career. Unfortunately it happened to me now and it took a little longer.”
