Marcos Rojo refuses to train with Racing Club amid transfer push
Summary

Marcos Rojo, the former Manchester United defender, is refusing to train with Racing Club while seeking a return to Estudiantes. The 36-year-old's decision stems from a heated exchange with Racing chairman Diego Milito regarding his desire to leave the club. Rojo, whose contract with Racing runs until the end of 2026, aims to finish his career with Estudiantes, the club where he began. His absence from training follows Racing's recent elimination from the Copa Argentina and a drop in title hopes. Estudiantes, facing suspensions to key defenders ahead of a Copa Libertadores semi-final, expressed interest in signing Rojo, allowing for a potential registration before the match against Flamengo on October 15.
