The president of Racing, Victor Whiteconfirmed that they are working to locate Edwin Cardona in another club. In addition, he expressed after the departure of Matías Rojas from the “Academy”, the possibilities that Roger Martínez will return and the objectives in the transfer market.
In a dialogue with the program “How is it going” on D Sports Radio, the boss of the Avellaneda club was blunt about the future of the Colombian Cardona, resisted by the fans, and the Chilean Óscar Opazo: “With Opazo we are close to finalizing his contract so that he can return to Chile and with Cardona we are working to place him in another club”.
Later, Blanco referred to the departure of Matías Rojas from the club and the words of the Paraguayan towards the president when he was whistled before Banfield.
“I didn’t hear what Matías Rojas said. I don’t attach importance to these things. The club is ahead of everything and everyone. Matías Rojas ends his contract now on June 30 and is a free player, we did not agree on the salary part. He had an important offer from Brazil that neither Racing nor Argentine soccer can match, that is the reality,” he said.
“We did everything possible to keep him at the club but we couldn’t achieve it, he became the highest paid player, but the reality of the country in terms of getting dollars is complex and we were not within reach,” added the president of Racing.
As every time the transfer market opens, the Colombian Roger Martínez is one of the names that has been heard for several years in the “Academy” and, in this regard, Blanco did not go around and dismissed the arrival of the striker from América from Mexico.
“It’s all smoke, it’s not for Argentine football, I don’t see it in any club. The idea is to continue his career abroad, if he can in Europe, where much more is paid than in our country,” he said.
Finally, who has chaired the Avellaneda club since September 2013, indicated that it will be sought in the next transfer period: “We hope to get in tune in the local tournament as we are in the Copa Libertadores. The idea is to reinforce ourselves with three or four players for the cup and the local tournament. Tomás Chancalay has offers from other clubs abroad that are being evaluated to see what is the most convenient. If that interest does not prosper, I could return to Racing”he pointed.
