Due to the great hierarchy and depth that the Racing team has today, it is a fact that There will be many teams interested in players that are not without starters and a heavy one is Roger Martínez. The forward, who arrived a year ago with the nickname of star figure and signing, has not yet been able to earn that place on the field. Injuries played a trick on him and he found himself with a pair of attackers that became the best in the country: today Maravilla and Salas are undisputed. In this context, the rumor emerged that Boca once again set its eyes on the Colombian.
Racing, Boca and the present of Roger Martínez
It is not the first time that Juan Román Riquelme flirts with the former América. Roger Martínez, before returning to Racing, knew how to be on Boca’s radar. In the last few hours it has once again gained strength that Xeneize will go all out. As Racing de Alma was able to find out, the player’s entourage has not received any formal call from Boca so far. But the situation is not comfortable for the academic leadership: Roger ends his contract at the end of the year and in this transfer market he would already be in a position to sign a pre-contract. This causes his market value to fall far beyond his athletic level.
What Costas said about the forward
“Anything can happen in football, I hope he doesn’t leave. I love Roger, he has incredible quality. What happens is that he was injured for a long time and also how I get Maravilla and Salas out. They hang me up…” , Costas said in a conversation with ESPN. It was the second time that the Racing coach forcefully benched Roger Martínez. His real wish is that he can stay at the club. He has been lifting and scoring goals. It will be the forward’s decision if he stays to fight for six more months or if he goes to another place where he will be guaranteed more minutes.
In addition to Boca, It is also rumored that Atlético Nacional conducted a survey to try to take him back to Colombia. This idea would not prosper due to the high salary that Roger Martínez has in Racing, one of the top players on Costas’ team.
