Racing Santander has signed Brazilian centre-back Pedro Felipe from Juventus on a permanent transfer deal until June 2030. The move is part of the club's efforts to strengthen its squad ahead of their return to LaLiga.
The team will start the season at home against Villarreal on August 16 and has already made six signings so far. TuttoJuve reports that Racing could be interested in further Juventus players before the window closes.
Pedro Felipe joined Juventus from Palmeiras' under-20s in 2023, but did not make a first-team debut for Juventus. He spent the second half of last season on loan at Sassuolo, where he played three Serie A matches and registered one assist.
The unveiling was briefly muddled when Juventus posted the transfer announcement on social media before the paperwork was completed. The post was swiftly deleted, although it circulated among Racing supporters.
Standing 1.90 metres tall, Pedro Felipe is strong in aerial duels and individual battles. A right-sided defender with a good passing range, he complements Facu González, another centre-back with a Juventus past.
