Santino Vera (born 11 April 2006) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Racing.
Born in Quilmes in the Buenos Aires Province of Argentina, Vera began his career with Racing, training at the club's Predio Tita Mattiussi training ground.[1] Having progressed through the academy, he was called up to the senior squad by manager Fernando Gago for the first time in May 2023, ahead of the Copa Libertadores match against Ecuadorian opposition Aucas.[1] He travelled with the squad to Quito, but did not feature in the match.
He made his professional debut two months later, coming on as a second-half substitute for Nicolás Oroz in a 4–0 win against Colón on 2 July 2023. Later in the same month, he signed his first professional contract, alongside teammates Agustín Ojeda and Axel Cabellos.[2]
