La Liga defensive prospect only wants Barcelona despite interest from Manchester United
Jorge Salinas has returned to training with Racing Santander, but his future remains far from settled as FC Barcelona continue their efforts to sign the highly rated left-back before the transfer wind...
Racing Santander midfielder Jorge Salinas, a highly-rated 19-year-old left-back, remains focused on joining Barcelona despite interest from Manchester United and other clubs. The Spain Under-19 international declared his preference for the Catalan giants, stating he is willing to wait for a deal to be agreed upon. Barcelona and Manchester United have both shown interest, but Racing Santander's valuation of Salinas is a significant hurdle for any potential transfer.
The young defender's contract with Racing extends until 2029, and negotiations are currently at a standstill. Barcelona, while impressed by Salinas' potential, has not met his €16 million release clause and is exploring alternative transfer structures. If Racing refuses to compromise, Salinas will likely remain with his current club until the transfer window closes.
