Racing is seeking an experienced central defender to replace Agustín García Basso and has identified Matías Catalán from Talleres as a target. Racing has made an inquiry for the 34-year-old defender, who is currently training separately from the main squad. It was clarified from Avellaneda that this was only a first step and no concrete proposal has been submitted, with the club's search being more urgent due to an injury to Marco Di Cesare.
