Amidst the swirling transfer rumours and the public tug-of-war between the two clubs, Salinas has earned significant praise for how he has handled the situation. Many young players might have been distracted by the lure of the Camp Nou, but Aragon was quick to laud the teenager’s attitude during the pre-season period. The sporting director highlighted that Salinas has remained focused on his duties at Racing.
Aragon suggested that Salinas’ growth and dedication should be reflected in his standing at the club, regardless of whether a move eventually materializes. He indicated that if the transfer window closes and Salinas is still a Racing player, the club will look to reward him accordingly. “If he stays, his growth will have to be reflected in his contract,” Aragon stated.
