Toto Fernández has proposals to leave Racing in this transfer market. This does not mean that he is going to leave, but… The creative midfielder initially did not make up a list of players for whom Racing would listen to offers in this transfer market, such as the one made up of Agustín Almendra (almost sold to Necaxa of Mexico), Juan Nardoni, Marco Di Cesare and Gastón Martirena: but the dynamics of the transfer windows mean that some plans change and, therefore, it is not ruled out that some more players leave, even if they do not form part of that initial roster. What will happen to Toto?
In the last few hours, the midfielder’s inner circle confirmed to this medium that he received calls from three clubs that want to take him. These are Central Córdoba from Santiago del Estero, Chapecoense from Brazil and Deportes Concepción from Chile, the latter recently promoted to the First Division. There Chila Gómez comes from fulfilling his loan, a goalkeeper who will not be taken into account by Gustavo Costas. Chapecoense, meanwhile, recently rose.
The footballer’s representation contacted Sebastián Saja, sports director, to inform him of the interest of these entities. In response, the former goalkeeper warned that the coaching staff will be consulted to define whether a departure will be given the green light in case of a convincing offer or if he will be retained because the coach will take him into account, at least as a replacement.
Toto Fernández in Racing will have new competitors in the position in this transfer market
In short, at least for now, Fernández’s continuity is a question mark. Above all, because for the creative role Racing recovered Baltasar Rodríguez, after playing a year on loan at Inter Miami, and in terms of reinforcements it points as a priority to Matko Miljevic, a Huracán footballer.
Due to lack of filming, Toto experienced a 2025 that was far from its expectations. This was reflected by him in a message he published on Instagram. “It was a very hard year personally because of my first experience in Argentine professional soccer,” his publication began. And he immediately radiated optimism: “I have no doubt that I will continue to improve to be able to live up to this beautiful club. Thank you to all my teammates for welcoming me and we are going for more.”
In the previous transfer market, Adrián Fernández had the chance to change clubs, but Racing decided to let him stay so that he could advance in the adaptation process to the First Division. In total, this year he played 21 meetingsjust four since the start. He did not score goals and did get two assists, against Newell’s and Defensa y Justicia. In this second semester he played 13 games, two starting. It was against Independiente Rivadavia de Mendoza (Clausura Tournament) and Fortaleza of Brazil (Copa Libertadores).
As a managerial bet, Toto arrived at Racing at the beginning of 2025, on loan from San Telmo (Nacional B), with a fee of 100,000 dollars and two purchase options: one of 800,000 dollars (to be executed last June) and another of 1,100,000 for current December, both for 80% of the pass. Finally, the Academy decided to exercise the first and the contract was renewed until the end of 2029.
At the moment, there are already four confirmed departures in Racing. Almendra’s (sale for around $2,500,000) joined those of Gabriel Arias, Facundo Mura and Luciano Vietto, whose contracts expired. The goalkeeper and the right-back did not want to renew, while in the case of Lucho it was the leadership that had no intention of extending the contract because Costas communicated that he would not take it into account.
