Jorge Salinas stays at Racing Santander after deadline day transfer interest

Racing Santander defender Jorge Salinas remains with the LaLiga side following the close of the summer transfer window. Manchester United and other European clubs pursued the 19-year-old, but offers failed to trigger the player's £13.7 million release clause. While Manchester United sought a loan agreement, Racing Santander opted to retain the defender and will now provide him with a pay raise. The Spanish Under-19 international drew interest from Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, though neither club met the valuation set after the team's promotion. Having remained in Cantabria, Salinas is expected to receive a call-up to the Spain Under-21 side. Future opportunities for a transfer will depend on his performances in the Spanish top flight this season.
