Racing negotiated for a loan of Chilean forward Bruno Barticciotto, but Talleres ultimately decided to loan him to Santos Laguna. Barticciotto, a Racing fan who has been coached by Gustavo Costas at Palestino, will now continue his career in Mexico. Despite Racing's persistent efforts until the closing of the transfer window, Talleres opted not to loan Barticciotto to them, even though both clubs are set to compete in the Copa Libertadores. Initially, it appeared that Barticciotto would stay with Talleres, but in a last-minute decision, he was loaned to Santos Laguna.
