Marcos Rojo Transfer from Racing Club to Estudiantes
Marcos Rojo was signed after the transfer window in Argentina had closed. The Argentine Football Association (AFA) allowed his registration for the national championship as a replacement for the injured Gabriel Neves. Conmebol twice rejected his registration for the Libertadores, which led Estudiantes to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to field him in the Maracanã match. Rojo started as left back in the game.

Marcos Rojo's transfer from Racing was problematic, leading to a breakdown in his relationship with president Diego Milito. Although his contract ended in December, the club did not want to release him to a rival. Estudiantes paid US$ 500,000 to complete the signing because they needed a replacement after two starting defenders, Pirez and Tomás Palacios, were suspended for the first leg against Flamengo. Estudiantes also agreed to pay a bonus of US$ 250,000 if they qualify for the final and US$ 450,000 if they win the title.

According to TYC, Marcos Rojo has signed his contract with Estudiantes and will wear the number 5 shirt.

According to TYC, Marcos Rojo continues to train at the City Bell country club but has not yet been officially announced as a new Estudiantes signing. His participation in the Copa Libertadores is at risk due to a lack of approval from the AFA, with the deal stalled because he is not listed in the COMET system. Registration with the Argentine Football Association is essential to play in the Copa Libertadores, and Estudiantes must send the verified roster to Conmebol before 6 p.m. For this to occur, the AFA needs to enable an exceptional upload in COMET and complete the validation. The defender is expected to sign a contract through December 2027. It is most likely that Rojo will not be able to compete in the Clausura or the Argentine Super Cup. It is still possible that he could play in the Libertadores, provided his registration with the AFA is completed and he is included on the list within the established deadline. While awaiting a decision, Rojo continues training under Alexander Cacique Medina.

According to TYC, negotiations for Marcos Rojo's move to Estudiantes from Racing are ongoing, and his arrival has not yet been confirmed. The parties are working to close the deal as the registration deadline approaches. Rojo has been training for three days at City Bell but has not yet been officially presented. The main obstacle is a lack of agreement between Estudiantes and Racing on the amount of bonuses that Estudiantes must pay, depending on objectives achieved by Rojo. The transfer consists of an economic fee for the early departure, a debt Racing owed Rojo which he forgave, and bonuses for games played and won, which are the main point of conflict. The fee would be around $800,000 if Rojo reaches all targets, but a minimum of $300,000 is guaranteed to Racing. The negotiation must be closed by the registration deadline for the Libertadores semifinals.
