Racing Santander HubRacing Santander has only signed Sergio Canales for the upcoming season in La Liga. The Racing market is waiting on Jorge Salinas and Gustavo Puerta.
What's happening with Salinas and Puerta?
Both players have offers from top-level clubs and their potential sales would mark the summer of the Cantabrian technical secretariat.
Gustavo Puerta is being key with Colombia in this World Cup and has offers from Italian and Portuguese teams, although Racing only has 50% of his future sale.
What is the value of Puerta and Salinas?
The Colombian player practically said goodbye to the Racing fans in the promotion match against Valladolid. The Cantabrian club expects to raise around 10 million euros for Puerta, since half of the transfer belongs to Bayern Leverkusen.
| Player | Value |
|---|---|
| Gustavo Puerta | 10 million euros |
