Racing and Real Madrid CF have reached an agreement for the transfer of Sergio Martínez. The Madrid club has committed to paying, in a single installment, the full amount set as the release clause in the contract linking Real Racing Club and the player. As a result, the player from Laredo leaves the green-and-white club.

At Racing, the club Sergio has belonged to since the age of 10 and where he has climbed every step from Alevín B to the first team (for whom he made 15 appearances), we want to wish the player every success he deserves in his upcoming professional and personal challenges.

Good luck, Sergio! We are very proud of your development at our club and of the way you have defended the badge all these years. El Sardinero will always be your home.
