Jorge Salinas, left-back of 19 years old Racing de Santander, is in the decisive phase of his possible signing for Atlético de Madrid. The deal is being negotiated around a proposal of fixed 14 million euros plus variables, while Racing maintains a 16 million euros release clause.

Jorge Salinas brings Racing and Atlético de Madrid closer

Atlético has identified Jorge Salinas as one of its targets to strengthen the left side, and discussions with Racing have progressed throughout August. The Madrid club had already put forward a proposal of 14 million euros plus a player, in addition to possible variables, but the Cantabrian entity initially rejected these terms.

The economic difference stands at around 2 million euros in relation to the clause set by Racing. Chema Aragón, the club's sports director, has stated that any Salinas transfer must start from the 16 million euros stipulated in his contract.

The latest information from Solo Fichajes indicates that Atlético has closed the deal this Saturday. The scenario has changed compared to the initial talks, and the Cantabrian defender will sign with the Madrid team for fixed 14 million euros plus extras that would amount to well over the 16 established by his release clause.

Barcelona also monitoring Jorge Salinas

The deal has seen Barcelona as one of the clubs linked to Salinas' future. The Azulgrana have been monitoring the defender for weeks, whose clause increased to 16 million euros for the 2026/27 season.

However, Barcelona is not the sole competitor. Manchester United has also been following the player's progress, while Atlético has accelerated its moves in the market's final days.

Salinas extended his contract with Racing until 2029, with the new contractual setting raising his clause from the previous 8 million to 16 million for this season.

The left-back has already made an impact with Racing upon the club's return to La Liga. He started in the first match against Villarreal and was involved in the play that led to the penalty, allowing the Cantabrian side to take the lead.

The deal comes down to its final hours

Racing is open to negotiating a different payment scheme than the direct clause payment, but the 16 million euros amount remains their benchmark. Atlético, on the other hand, aims to finalize the agreement before the close of the Spanish market on September 1st.

Currently, Jorge Salinas remains a Racing player, although Atlético is in talks to turn the proposal of 14 million plus variables into a definitive agreement. Barcelona is keeping tabs on the situation, but the Madrid team has made the most progress for the left-back.
