AS reports on the transfer saga involving 19-year-old Spanish left-back Jorge Salinas. Real Madrid, Barça, and Manchester United were among several prominent clubs involved in the saga. The player ultimately remained with Racing as no team would meet his €16 million release clause, which was the price set by the Cantabrian club. He joined the club in July 2025, and his contract runs until 2029. It was reported in August 2026 that Racing rejected a €14 million offer, and another report specified a rejected bid from Atletico Madrid of €14 million plus a player.
