🚨Official: Damián Pizarro joins Racing as their latest signing

The Avellaneda Academy continues to make strong moves in the winter transfer market of 2026. This Tuesday, it was confirmed that Damián Pizarro, the young promise of Chilean football, is the new reinforcement for Racing Club. The 20-year-old forward arrives to strengthen the attack of a team aiming to be a protagonist both in the Torneo Apertura and on the international stage, becoming the third addition for Gustavo Costas' cycle.

The details of the operation with Udinese

After a brief stint in European football, the former Colo Colo striker arrives on loan from Udinese in Italy. The transfer was finalized for a period of one year and without a fee, a market opportunity that Víctor Blanco's management did not let pass. Pizarro, who has already posed in the club's colors, will inherit the number 14 jersey and will seek in Argentine football the minutes and continuity he could not consolidate in Serie A.

A profile that appeals to Costas

With his imposing physique and ability to clash, Pizarro fits perfectly into the direct and aggressive playing style advocated by Gustavo Costas. The arrival of the young Chilean responds to Racing's need to have options in the center of the area, adding freshness to a forward line that already includes experienced names. It is expected that the player will start working with the professional squad this week to be available as soon as possible.
