The sale of midfielder Agustín Almendra to Necaxa of Mexico could provide Racing with a great opportunity to finalize its first reinforcement for the 2026 season. On Wednesday afternoon, rumors gained traction that Racing would sell Almendra, a key piece in the midfield of the team led by Gustavo Costas, to the Mexican club for $2.5 million. Although the price for a starter in one of the country's best teams seems low, the reality is that Almendra joined the 'Academy' as a free agent after his problematic departure from Boca, and the board headed by Diego Alberto Milito would have promised to sell him in this transfer window. The income generated by Almendra's sale could be positive for Racing, as it would provide the extra funds needed to finalize the deal with offensive midfielder Matko Miljevic, who was one of Huracán's best players in 2025, and for which the 'Academy' would have to pay between $4 and $4.5 million, according to the Argentine News Agency. Miljevic, a 24-year-old midfielder, played 29 matches this year with the 'Globo', where he scored seven goals and provided six assists.
