The president of RacingManuel Higuera, has pointed out that the Santander midfielder Sergio Channels is going to give “a leap in quality” to the green and white squad, although acknowledges that nothing has been signed yet. “I spoke with him this week, we have a normal relationship, The agreement will be closed when it is signed, but everyone knows that both parties want. For me it is a dream that I return, it is a goal that I have pursued since I arrived, I hope to bring joy to racing in the coming days,” he said.
During his participation in the SER Cantabria Forum, Higuera stressed that the current footballer from Rayados de Monterrey (Mexico), where his contract ends on June 30, at a football level is “the best”, and recalled that just three years ago he was champion of the Nations League with the Spanish team. Besides, He has assured that the man from Santander will reach “one hundred percent”because he has always told him that he would only return if he is in full condition “because of the responsibility he has with the city and his team.”
The racing president has announced that Racing will sign around eight players, and that for some to arrive others will have to leave. “It will be very hard to say goodbye to some players, because I love my players and we have formed a family; it is a relationship of absolute closeness. This time makes me suffer,” he added.

However, He has insisted that if someone wants to take some of his most important playerslike Salinas or Gustavo Puerta, You will have to pay your termination clausebecause the philosophy of other years of not negotiating will be followed. He believes that Santander and Racing have shown him affection and that he can be happy. “Until they tell me it’s impossible, I’m going to have the hope that he’ll come back,” he said.
“The objective is to consolidate in First”
The green-and-white president has stated that the aim next season, the first in the First Division 14 years later, is consolidate in the category to grow as it has done in LaLiga Hypermotion. “We cannot change, we have come this far from humility and trying to do things well from the heart. We must continue doing the same. We have to continue getting it right, not only in sports, but in what we transmit to society,” he stressed.
Higuera is clear that, to achieve this, Racing will manage a sports budget that, although it will almost certainly be “the lowest in the category”, will allow it to have a competitive team. “We are going to have a great team, the footballers want to come to Racingthere are interesting footballers who want to come. The salary limit will be above 30 million, “We are going to be the lowest budget in the category and the objective is to work the miracle of salvation”he insisted.
