Racing Santander prepares new contract for Jorge Salinas amid interest

Racing Santander is preparing a new contract for Jorge Salinas after the 19-year-old left-back attracted interest from several European clubs this summer. Barcelona and Atletico Madrid both made approaches for the teenager during the most recent transfer window. Racing rejected a €5 million bid from Barcelona and a €14 million offer from Atletico Madrid because neither proposal met the player's €16 million release clause. While Salinas remains under contract until 2029, the club now intends to reward his recent form with improved financial terms. This adjustment is expected to include a higher release clause to offer the club greater protection against future transfer inquiries. Salinas continues to play for Racing Santander as he develops in the Spanish top flight.
