It is not a reinforcement, but it is an impact news in Racing because it involves a team figure, the best Maravilla Martínez partner, the man who seriously was in River's plans. After long negotiations, The Academy agreed to renew the Maximiliano Salas contract and this deactivated the alarms that had been turned on at the time.
As confirmed to Olé, The leadership reached a verbal treatment due to the extension of the link from the end of 2026 to December 2028, with a salary improvement for which there had been several meetings between the parties.
On Tuesday they had approached the numbers in a meeting held by Sebastián Saja (sports director), Diego Cifarelli (treasurer) and the footballer. And in the last hours the last details ended up polishing, which is why Gustavo Costas and the player on Thursday traveled to Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, to perform the most intense part of the preseason.

The concern had been unleashed when River appeared on the scene, that made an offer of $ 3,500,000 for the file and threatened to raise the proposal. This, added to the fact that the player was not comfortable due to the lack of updating of the contract, had generated concerns in the club.
Costas did his thing in his rest stage
One of those who was alarmed was the coasts himself: during the holidays I call Maxi to motivate him and ask him to stay, with the Libertadores as the main motivational flag. Salas told him that he wanted to stay in the academy, but that he was waiting for an increase in his link.

And he became a key player for his delivery, power and how well he is understood with Maravilla Martinez. The millionaire finally did not make new offers and promised not to seek to execute the termination clause of 8,000,000 net euros (just over 10,000,000 gross).
Other talks that Racing has
Racing also carries out negotiations by other players. Talk about salary increases by Gabriel Rojas and for the renovations of two agreements that expire at the end of the year: those of Gabriel Arias and Facundo Mura. For the latter there were advances and there is optimism in the parties about an arrangement that could occur sooner rather than later, surely until June 2027.
