Buenos Aires, Feb 3 (NA) -- Right-back Ezequiel Cannavo was officially presented as a new reinforcement for Racing Club de Avellaneda, within the framework of the transfer market for the 2026 Apertura Tournament. The transfer was made on loan for one year with an option to buy, a common format in Argentine football that will allow Racing to evaluate his sporting performance before deciding on a possible permanent acquisition.
Cannavo's signing represents a significant move for Racing's coaching staff and management, who were looking to reinforce the right side of the defense with a young player but with experience in the First Division. In addition to his statistics, the full-back stood out for his consistency, tactical discipline, and ability to adapt to different systems, virtues that earned him a place in the 'Falcon' squad from Florencio Varela.
From the player's circle, it is highlighted that this move to Racing means a significant leap in his career, not only because of the club's magnitude but also because of the sporting demand that comes with competing at the highest levels of Argentine football. The post quickly generated a reaction among the academy fans, who celebrated the defender's arrival and expressed positive expectations for the new tournament.
During his time at Defensa y Justicia, the club that owned his rights, Cannavo played 65 official matches, in which he scored three goals and provided one assist, numbers that reflect his active participation in both defensive and offensive plays.
'Internal competition for a place and the inherent pressure of a big institution will be decisive factors in his evolution throughout the season. For Racing, Cannavo's arrival is part of a strategy to renew and strengthen the squad, targeting players with projection and room for growth.'
