Midfielder Almendra leaves Racing for Mexican Necaxa

The midfielder Agustín Almendra will leave Racing after two and a half years and will play for Necaxa in Mexico. According to information from the Argentine News Agency, the 25-year-old footballer will sign a contract with the Mexican team for three seasons. The team finished the season in the lower part of the MX League table. In the first half of 2025, being a substitute at Racing, Almendra was very close to ending up at Vélez, but the leadership of 'La Academia' improved his contract at the request of Racing coach Gustavo Costas, and the player stayed at the club. However, his second half of the year at Racing was not outstanding, and he will go to Mexico after two and a half years with the team from Avellaneda. From there, the footballer played 102 matches, scored 6 goals, and won the 2024 South American Cup and the 2025 South American Recopa. His biggest deficit, an important factor for his departure, was the few matches he completed on the field. Of those 102 matches, he started 77 but only completed 6, being substituted for various reasons. In April 2023, Almendra arrived at 'La Academia' with his pass in hand from Boca.
