The Racing Club of Strasbourg Alsace officially announced the arrival of Argentine striker Joaquin Panicelli, whose transfer amounts to 16.5 million euros, supplemented by 3.5 million euros of bonuses. This signature marks a turning point for the player, who is now engaged with the Alsatian club. After more than three months of intense negotiations, the discussions have accelerated considerably over the past week, leading to this final agreement.

The information about Panicelli’s transfer was first revealed by the Spanish daily Marca, who on Wednesday indicated his absence from the Alavés group during their pre-season internship. This information was subsequently confirmed by the Argentine media TyC Sports, which claimed that Strasbourg was about to conclude the attacker’s signature for four seasons, with an estimated value of EUR 16 million.

Joaquin Panicelli, who was under contract with the Deportivo Alavés and had been loaned to Mirandés last season (where he scored 21 goals and 8 assists in 44 matches in the Spanish second division), is committed to the next five seasons with the Racing. This arrival represents an important reinforcement for the Alsatian attack and attests to the club’s ambition to project itself towards the future.
