When it seemed that the chance had already passed, once again the possibility of Baltasar Rodríguez leaving Racing to continue his career at Inter Miami, of the MLS in the United States, was raised.
Inter Miami, through the player’s representative, raised a new offer for the midfielder to become a teammate of Lionel Messi, among other Argentines, although for the moment it is still far from Racing’s intentions to get rid of the player.
The MLS franchise intends to take Rodríguez on loan for one season with an option to buy 80% of the transfer, which would become mandatory as long as he plays 66% of this year. Everything seems to indicate that the Academy is still not convinced by this new offer, but we will have to see if there is a new approach in the next few hours and also see how much pressure Baltasar puts on him to leave the Avellaneda institution in search of a new destination, which would be nothing less than sharing a squad with Messi.
After not being present in the first games of the year when there was talk of this chance to go to Inter Miami, the 21-year-old player was again available to Gustavo Costas and yesterday he played a few minutes in the defeat against San Lorenzo.
If the operation goes well, the Academy will have until March 13 the opportunity to add a new player and the target would be another one who was talked about a lot in the transfer market: Richard Sánchez.
So far this year in Mexico, Sánchez was only a starter once in the 10 games that Las Águilas played and in the last two he played eight and 10 minutes, respectively.
Rivera left crying after a Tarzia kick in Banfield vs Independiente
A great controversy arose in the continuation of the match between Banfield and Independiente, who on Sunday had not been able to finish the match due to bad weather conditions and in the resumption the score was not changed for the 8th date of the Apertura tournament of the Professional League.
Two 11-minute periods were played and at the beginning of the second period, Gerónimo Rivera escaped towards the Independiente field and was brought down from behind by Diego Tarzia, who went straight to hit him.
Due to the strong blow, Rivera had to leave the field of play in tears and without being able to step on it due to the pain he felt in his left ankle. The referee Jorge Baliño decided to only show the yellow card to the Independiente forward and the VAR did not call him to correct the decision, so it coincided with the disciplinary measure.
The curious thing is that Baliño had not been in Banfield on Sunday and today he had to replace Silvio Trucco, who had coached the weekend and was not present because he had an international commitment.
Rosario Central prepares for what is coming even without Mallo
Despite the setback, Central remains the leader of group B, although it now shares the position with San Lorenzo. But both could be relegated to second place by Independiente, which this Sunday afternoon completes its match of this eighth date, as a visitor to Banfield.
As for the match that he must face next Monday against Talleres in Córdoba, Facundo Mallo would not yet be in condition to reappear. The Uruguayan defender suffered a muscle injury in a calf playing the classic, on February 16. Therefore, Mallo began to go through the third week of recovery from a physical problem that requires between three and four weeks for medical clearance.
The rest of the squad would again be available to Holan, as happened last date against Boca. What is certain is that, in view of the game against Talleres in Córdoba, the coach of the gold and blue team will make changes to the starting line-up, especially after the team’s poor start in the match against Boca.
The work week began on Monday afternoon at the Arroyo Seco grounds and continued on Tuesday morning. On Wednesday there was a double shift, all scheduled at the Arroyo grounds as the stage.
