After several days of uncertainty and rumors of all kinds that circulated in and around Avellaneda, the skilled midfielder
Emiliano Vecchio
signed the renewal of his contract with Racing this Friday and will continue under the orders of Fernando Gago.
"It's good to have more time with you!
" The club announced on social networks along with an image of the footballer posing in the first team shirt and accompanied by the president, Víctor Blanco, and the sports secretary, Ruben Capria. Vecchio extended his link with the club
until December 2024.
This Friday, who had spoken at a press conference about the possible renewal, had been Gago himself, who showed his interest in keeping him at the club for Racing's season.
"
He has to recover. He has to get back to that competitive rhythm
. He was unemployed for a long time, we'll see how he comes back. You have to work on it from a footballing perspective, from a physical perspective, so that the knee responds well... There are a lot of factors previous before playing. The same him and the same
Lolo
(Miranda). They are both in the same situation".
Since his arrival at the
Academy
in mid-2022, the footballer with the last spell at Rosario Central played just
14 games
where he scored
three goals
and provided
four assists
.
Until now, his stay in the team was affected by
two injuries
that sidelined him for a long time: a
muscle tear
(50 days, 9 games) and a
cruciate ligament tear
(259 days, 17 games). .

However, when it was his turn to play, Vecchio was one of the greatest drivers and playmaker at the
Academy
.
Clearly, Gago maintains a player of the hierarchy on the squad but he needs to take him calmly so that he does not fall back into injuries.
