The waters did not calm down around Roger Martínez. After the discomfort caused in Racing by his long delay in rejoining the squad in the preseason, the striker from the Academy made a publication that did not go down well with the club or the fans: the photo that Roger Martínez uploaded surprised and angered many at Racing.
The attacker uploaded an Instagram story without any captions, but with a very suggestive image: he appears in the middle of a match, looking towards one of the stands and with his index fingers covering both ears. He posted this in the midst of criticism he has received for having missed seven days of the preseason in Ciudad del Este, Paraguay. For this reason, many interpreted that, with this story, he wanted to convey that he does not listen to questions.
The relationship between Roger and the fans seems to have broken down. Or at least, it had a breakdown after he missed training sessions. Something that also, of course, caused anger in the coaching staff and in the management.

Photo aside, Roger Martínez’s arguments for his fouls at Racing
First due to personal matters and then because he missed a flight, as he told the coach, Roger rejoined the delegation on Wednesday (coming from Colombia). At that time, the group had already been on break for seven days… Due to the number of days of practice he was absent, a routine of different work was created for him because he needs to get in tune with his classmates. Thus, he will work double shifts every day, even if the staff works one shift.
Roger’s delay was taken in Racing as a lack of professionalism. EHe was also one of the players that Costas was most targeting to get in shape physically this preseason due to the muscle injuries he has had so far in 2024. Despite this situation of misconduct, he was not sanctioned. But he knows that the credibility of the fans is almost zero now.
His desire to leave
Shortly after the transfer market began, the forward from the Academy made it known to the board of directors that he wanted to leave the club in this transfer market if an offer appeared that appealed to him and the club. There were a couple of proposals. Although they were rejected by Racing, who are asking for 2,000,000 dollars, even though he will be free at the end of this year. Is his continuity confirmed until next December? Not yet. “Roger doesn’t want to leave on bad terms, and even less now. If something superlative doesn’t come along that works for Racing and convinces Roger, he will stay,” sources close to the footballer told this portal.
Due to his logical lack of rhythm, Roger Martínez will not be part of the friendlies this Friday against Libertad or against General Caballero this Saturday. That day, the team will begin its return to Buenos Aires. And will continue working with a view to the resumption of the Professional League. On Saturday 20th, starting at 5pm, will host Godoy Cruz on the sixth date.
