The Racing transfer market is still awaiting departures. Jorge Salinas, a 19-year-old defender, remains with the Cantabrian club while interests from Saudi Arabia resurface. The player already rejected a Saudi proposal back in 2025 that included paying his release clause and a salary 30 times higher than what he was earning at that time.

Jorge Salinas maintains his link with Racing

Salinas renewed with Racing until June 30, 2029, as officially confirmed by the Cantabrian entity. His extended contract strengthens the club's position against any attempts to leave during the transfer window.

The situation is different now compared to a year ago. In September 2025, a club from Saudi Arabia was ready to trigger a 4 million euros release clause and offer significantly better salary conditions, as explained by his representative, Jesús Merino, to Cadena SER.

That proposal was turned down by Salinas and his surroundings. The objective was for the defender to continue his development at Racing and gain prominence in professional football before considering a departure.

Now, the scenario reopens with Saudi clubs showing interest, yet Salinas remains in Santander for now. The available information does not specify which Saudi entities are monitoring the player or if there is a formal offer on the table.Jorge Salinas ha tenido ofertas de Barcelona y Atlético este verano / Instagram

Saudi Arabia appears again in Salinas's future

International interest in Salinas is not limited to Saudi Arabia. During 2026, the defender has also been on the radar of clubs like Barcelona, Atlético de Madrid, PSG, Bologna, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, and Porto.

Barcelona even considered his incorporation leveraging the relationship between Deco and Jorge Mendes, the player's agent. Racing set his clause at 16 million euros after promotion to La Liga, although there were different interpretations regarding the applicable amount.

On a sporting level, Salinas has solidified his presence with Racing's first team. In the 2025/26 season, he played 32 LaLiga Hypermotion matches, leading to the extension of his contract until 2029. At the start of the 2026/27 season, LaLiga records 3 matches and 270 minutes for the player, with no goals or assists.

Racing has started to prepare for a possible departure. The club brought in Aarón Martín at the end of the transfer window following uncertainty around Salinas, while Atlético Madrid also keeps an eye on the player.

For now, the decision is to keep Jorge Salinas at Racing, yet the window remains open for Saudi clubs to propose a deal. The past offer from Saudi Arabia, multiplying his salary by 30, explains why his situation continues to be monitored closely in recent hours.
