Jorge Salinas, 19-year-old left-back of Racing, continues to be one of Barcelona's targets for this summer transfer window. The Catalan club is considering a final offer of 6 million euros, plus 2 million in variables, and the loan of reserve team players. However, the Cantabrian club maintains its requirement to receive the 16 million euros from the release clause. 

Barcelona's interest is not new. The sports management led by Deco has been monitoring Jorge Salinas' progress for months, seeing him as a future investment to reinforce the left-back position. Nevertheless, the club has set a financial limit and does not plan to meet Racing's demanded amount, convinced that the promotion to La Liga justifies raising the clause to 16 million euros. 

Barcelona seeks a way to reduce Jorge Salinas' cost

Barcelona's proposed solution involves a fixed sum of 6 million euros, an additional 2 million euros linked to performance variables, and the loan of several reserve team players. This approach would decrease the immediate payment while providing Racing with valuable assets for the upcoming season. 

However, the Cantabrian club maintains a firm stance. Since their promotion to La Liga, the club insists that the current clause remains at 16 million euros, unwilling to negotiate below that figure unless it benefits their sporting project. 

The interest in Jorge Salinas aligns with Barcelona's sports management criteria. The defender, under a long-term contract with Racing, can play both as a left-back and a left center-back, a versatility that caught Barcelona's coaches' attention during the past season.

Atlético maintains interest, but Jorge Salinas prioritizes Barcelona

While the negotiation remains at a standstill, Atlético remains one of the clubs closely monitoring the player's situation. The Madrid-based club has shown interest for weeks, yet the player has chosen to wait and see if Barcelona can move forward with the transfer. 

Jorge Salinas' preference benefits Barcelona. The defender has put other options on hold, including Atlético's, as he considers joining Hansi Flick's project a priority. Nonetheless, this inclination does not alter Racing's stance, as they stand by their set release clause. 

The next hours will be decisive

The next move lies with Barcelona, either by presenting their final offer or dropping the bid. If Racing maintains its requirement of 16 million euros, Jorge Salinas' signing could be postponed, reopening opportunities for Atlético and other clubs closely eyeing one of the market's most sought-after young full-backs.
