Marcos Rojo refuses to train for Racing Club as he pushes to rejoin former side

Former Manchester United defender Marcos Rojo is refusing to train with Racing Club as he attempts to force a transfer back to his former team, Estudiantes. The 36-year-old wants to finish his playing career at his boyhood club, but his push to leave has sparked a dispute with Racing officials following a heated meeting with club chairman Diego Milito.

Estudiantes, led by chairman Juan Sebastian Veron, are urgently seeking defensive reinforcements ahead of their Copa Libertadores semi-final against Flamengo on October 15. Although Rojo remains under contract with Racing until the end of 2026, tournament rules would permit Estudiantes to register the center-back immediately.
