Sasha Marcich to Racing

Quiet since 18 June 2026. Last report: German Garcia Grova. Probability when it went quiet: 14%.

Racing have moved for Lanús defender Sasha Marcich, opening formal negotiations and tabling a first offer. The fee under discussion is around £2m, which sits just below his estimated £3m market value. The picture today is one of genuine interest rather than a done deal: a bid is on the table, but no agreement has been struck, and Marcich remains under contract at Lanús until the end of 2028, giving the selling club a strong hand. So far this rests on a single voice. Cesar Luis Merlo, a reliable reporter, carried the line nine days ago that Racing had opened talks and lodged a first offer. That is credible sourcing, but it is one report and it is not the freshest, there has been no corroborating follow-up confirming movement since. Meaning it is against the odds, more likely to stall than to complete as things stand. For it to land, Racing would need to close the gap between their £2m offer and Lanús's valuation of a defender they are under no pressure to sell. The long contract and the quiet since that first report are what hold the number down; the existence of a formal bid is what keeps it alive. There is form here. Racing have repeatedly done business at this level, Defensa to Racing for £2m in 2024, and Aldosivi to Racing for £2m in 2025, so the money fits their pattern exactly. Watch for a second, improved offer or a public response from Lanús. A fresh report confirming talks have advanced would be the first real sign this is firming up.
