Racing Club could suffer a player departure in the coming hours as the American club Inter Miami has presented a new offer to sign midfielder Baltasar Rodríguez. According to the Argentine News Agency, the team playing in Major League Soccer (MLS) has elevated its proposal to around 4.5 million dollars for the player born in Monte Hermoso. The 22-year-old creative midfielder's loan with the club where star Lionel Messi plays ends in December 2025, after becoming an MLS champion, and 'The Herons' ('Las Garzas') had decided not to exercise the purchase option for the player. However, Inter Miami has rekindled its interest in Rodríguez and has made a new move for a player that coach Gustavo Costas intended to keep for the 2026 season, when Racing will compete in three tournaments: the Professional League, the Copa Sudamericana, and the Copa Argentina. After confirming the signings of Valentín Carboni and Matko Miljevic, the 'Academy' would not mind parting with some players to balance the books, making the midfielder the top candidate to leave Avellaneda and return to Florida. The chances of Rodríguez returning to the United States are growing stronger, but it will be necessary to wait and see if the coach's intention ultimately weighs more than the board's need to sell, led by Diego Milito. For now, Racing continues its preseason in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, in preparation for the new campaign, and on Tuesday they triumphed in a friendly match 2-1 against Vélez Sarsfield.
