Racing Club is on the verge of making its first sale in the transfer market with the possible transfer of Franco Pardo to Mexico's Santos Laguna. The 29-year-old central defender could leave the Avellaneda club after just one year. Racing Club's management would be happy to part with Pardo, who has been a backup player in the defense. The Mexican team has offered $2,000,000 for Pardo's full transfer, a figure that would be accepted by the club. Pardo has played 35 games with Racing Club since his arrival in 2025 and scored an important goal in the Copa Libertadores. However, he has lost his starting position after a grade three muscle injury that kept him out for over a month. The sale of Pardo could be related to the search for a central defender that began with the management of Racing Club, specifically Mateo Mendoza, a defender from Godoy Cruz. Pardo's arrival at Racing Club was controversial at the time, as it was unclear whether the management paid the release clause to unilaterally remove him from Unión. Finally, Racing Club paid $1,300,000 for 100% of Pardo's rights. The sale of Pardo to Santos Laguna could generate a profit of $700,000 for the club. The central defender has everything ready to go to Mexico and the sale could be finalized in the coming days. Racing Club's management is looking to strengthen the defense with the possible incorporation of Mateo Mendoza. The 21-year-old defender is one of the players being followed by the club's technical secretariat. The sale of Pardo is an important step for the club, which is looking to generate income and strengthen the squad for the next season.
