After a good 2022, Racing is preparing for a 2023 full of goals.
The Academy is coming out of a 2022 with ups and downs. They went from sensational team to losing too many vital duels, a penalty led to them being beaten in one of the most thrilling league results ever, and in the final duel they agonizingly beat Boca to lift the Champions Trophy to drag.
Qualified for the next Copa Libertadores and candidate on all fronts, Fernando Gago’s men want to strengthen themselves to continue building successes.

“I didn’t ask for it.” These were the three words Fernando Gago uttered at the press conference when asked about his interest in Urzi. He didn’t say much more about it, but he made everything clear: the interest is the club’s, not his.
It is that the Academy leadership has already established contacts with their Banfield colleagues, but the idea is to move overseas, as some are interested in offering a purchase, but if this does not happen, they can negotiate and accept a loan with fees and purchase option, although far from the 20 million clause that the 22-year-old footballer has with a history in the Argentina Under-20 National Team and in the team that took part in the 2021 Tokyo Olympics.

On March 22, 2022, Fernando Gago commented in an interview on ESPN: “I like the two guys who play for Unión,” citing Portillo and Nardoni, who he will have in his ranks for the 2023 season.
Unión made the transfer official, in a statement informing: “lThe sale is made for USD 4,750,000, with a 10% capital gain retained for a future sale of the player. The total amount with taxes and commissions that Racing Club will pay is $6,000,000″.
This is without a doubt the heaviest sale in Tatengue’s history and a bomb on the internal transfer market.

This is how he will have a new experience at 26: Vélez Sarsfield. It will be a loan with costs and purchase option.
