The Sigali’s renewal in Racing is one of the top priorities. For Fernando Gago it is one of these players who they cannot be missing in 2023. A very good performance on the field of play, due to his great professionalism, the fact that he is one of the highest references in the group and for that hug between the two that made their relationship clear. One commands and the other is the one who guides the group. Together, they seek the glory of the Academy.
But the reality is that for the moment it was not possible to advance in the negotiations with the defender of the Academy. An express request from DT that, for the moment, is delayed. Those differences that we recounted that arose following the first meeting between the leadership and the representation of the Bear, persist. And even, as they entrusted to this portal, they failed to get close in all this time that elapsed.
The reality is that following the meeting that existed between the two parties, in which they came out with a significant difference in numbers, there were more talks. Not face to face, but by phone and with a good predisposition from both parties. Nevertheless, according to what they confided to this portal from the inside “they are still a bit far off in numbers”. Of course, the intention from both sides is to find solutions so that it can come to fruition and I know what everyone wants: for Sigali to continue playing in Racing.
Sigali’s wish and Racing’s
The desire and decision of the player is always important and in this case everyone at the Academy knows that the Bear wants to continue at the club. It is his wish, much more following a year in which the team played very well and he recovered that level that he had lost with Juan Antonio Pizzi. Once once more in the best version of him, at 35 years old, the central defender has the illusion of continuing to fight for things at the club and go for maximum glory. That dream is in his head and it is what most feeds him to stay.
In fact, if Sigali’s desire to continue in Racing did not exist, it would be really impossible. A player that in each pass market has offers from Croatia. But his priority today is Avellaneda, to stay at the club. And that makes it possible for it to continue, although at the moment they are further away than expected and, it seems, it will take many more days than expected. Despite this, at least for now, both parties believe that it will be possible to reach an agreement due to the good predisposition that exists, although of course they need to adjust.
Something important that the Academy offered and left the defender alone was the contract time. Two years of bond for the Bear, taking into account his age, it is something important and that from the representation they give value. Then, it is clear, an agreement must be reached on the numbers and future increases taking into account the variability of the contracts in Argentina.
