Marcos Rojo, Racing's central defender, has made a decision about his future, putting an end to rumors linking him with Estudiantes de La Plata. He has communicated his decision to Gustavo Costas, the coach of 'La Academia'. According to the Argentine News Agency, the defender, who previously played for Boca Juniors and Manchester United, was closely monitored by 'El Pincha' with the intention of bringing him back. Even the Estudiantes coach had given his approval for the move: 'He is a player who was born at Estudiantes and will want to finish his career there.' However, despite these statements, Rojo held an extensive meeting with the club's board led by Diego Milito. The 35-year-old central defender would have communicated his final decision. Rojo, born in La Plata and a product of 'El León's youth academy, would have decided to stay at Racing, honoring his productivity contract until June of this year and postponing his return to Estudiantes. In this way, the former Boca player will seek revenge under Gustavo Costas's system, fight to earn a starting spot and accumulate important minutes in both the Torneo Apertura and the Copa Sudamericana. Initially, everything indicated that Rojo would leave Racing, not only due to the coach's own statements but also due to his absence from the squad in the 2-1 defeat against Gimnasia y Esgrima La Plata. However, following the resolution of this transfer saga, which will close this Tuesday, it is expected that the defender with a past in the Argentine national team will return to the call-up list for the match against Rosario Central at the Cilindro de Avellaneda.
