Sergio Martinez, a 19-year-old Spanish midfielder, will leave Racing de Santander to become a new player for Real Madrid in this transfer market. The deal, closed for 3 million euros, includes his immediate arrival at the Madrid entity and a contract until 2030, without a loan back to the Cantabrian team.

Sergio Martinez Chooses Real Madrid

Martinez had attracted interest from several clubs in recent weeks. Real Madrid ended up winning a race that also involved Premier League and Bundesliga entities, along with other suitors monitoring his progress at Racing.

The player's decision represents a change from the scenario that was being considered days ago. Racing had proposed the option of keeping Martinez on loan after his signing, an alternative that would have allowed the midfielder to continue competing in La Liga.

Ultimately, Real Madrid has chosen to incorporate the player without a loan. Martinez will now be part of the Madrid structure starting this summer, with a contract extension until 2030.

The deal amounts to three million euros, coinciding with Martinez's release clause in his contract with Racing. The agreement concludes the negotiations that had started after his breakthrough in the top division.

Racing Loses Sergio Martinez after his Debut in La Liga

Martinez joined Racing's first team after progressing through the club's youth categories. His La Liga debut took place on August 16, 2026 against Villarreal, ending with a goal in the 2-2 draw at El Sardinero.

This debut sparked interest from Real Madrid. The white club had been tracking the midfielder before his appearance in the top division and informed Racing of their intention to reach an agreement for a player whose release clause was set at 3 million euros.

The sporting context had also made the decision significant for Martinez. Racing's sports director, Chema Aragon, acknowledged on August 26 that the player was still weighing whether to stay in Santander or accept the Madrid proposal.

Martinez's contract with Racing was valid until June 2029, with his release clause set at 3 million euros. Additionally, the midfielder is an international player for the Spanish U-19 team.

A Direct Step into Real Madrid's Structure

Sergio Martinez's inclusion comes after Real Madrid intensified contacts in recent weeks. The club was not the only interested party: Fabrizio Romano mentioned that teams from the Premier League and Bundesliga were also following the player.

Martinez has ultimately chosen Real Madrid's project, rebuffing offers from English, German, and Saudi clubs. His arrival will be immediate and does not involve a return to Racing, thus losing one of its youngest players after his debut in the top division.

The next step will be finalizing Sergio Martinez's integration into Real Madrid's structure and defining his role within the white club. The agreement establishes his connection until 2030, leaving behind any loan options that had been considered during negotiations.
