Racing Santander are preparing to strengthen their position over Jorge Salinas<\/a> after the 19-year-old attracted serious interest from Barcelona<\/a> and several major European clubs this summer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to SPORT<\/a>, Racing are planning to improve Salinas\u2019s contract and could increase his \u20ac16 million release clause.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

The left-back is already tied to the club until 2029, but his current buyout figure has left Racing exposed after a summer in which multiple clubs explored a deal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Notably, Barcelona<\/a> and Atletico Madrid both made approaches<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

In fact, it is said that Bar\u00e7a<\/em> offered \u20ac5 million, while Atletico went as high as \u20ac14 million. Racing rejected both because neither proposal reached the full release clause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The decision to keep Salinas has now prompted the club to reassess his contract.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Barcelona maintained contact with Salinas<\/a> during the closing stages of the transfer window, although the discussions never developed into an agreement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The Catalan club also kept communication open through Jorge Mendes, who represents Salinas and already has strong connections with Bar\u00e7a<\/em> through his work with players including Alejandro Balde.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Racing nevertheless refused to compromise on their valuation<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That stance has now paid off, at least in the short term. Salinas remains at the club and has the opportunity to continue developing without the disruption of a transfer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

But Racing also recognise that his current \u20ac16 million release clause could become increasingly difficult to defend if his progression continues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

For now, Racing intend to reward Salinas with improved financial terms.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The teenager\u2019s performances have strengthened his position within the club, and an increased salary would likely be accompanied by a higher release clause.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

That would give Racing greater protection while allowing them to reflect Salinas\u2019 growing importance to the team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Simply put, while no club activated the \u20ac16 million clause this summer, another strong campaign in the Spanish top flight could make that figure look considerably less imposing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

At 19, Salinas has plenty of room for further development, and Racing want his contract to show that trajectory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
