Uros Racic breakthrough revealed as West Brom set to seal new midfielder transfer
West Brom appear to be closing in on the signing of Sassuolo midfielder Uros Racic, according to DOOD and westbrom.fc.
The reliable Baggies news outlets claimed that the 26-year-old Serbia international is in talks and is understood to be close to sealing a move to Hawthorns.
He is expected to take up the final ESC spot and the deal is expected to be completed soon as he has not been included in Sassuolo’s squad to take on US Catanzaro on 18 August.
Westbrom.fc wrote on X: “Uroš Račić is in talks and very close to joining #wba in the coming days with the player expected to take up the final ESC place for the Baggies this summer.
“Talks are underway with Sassuolo. Deal hoped to be completed soon. More to follow.”
Uros Racic would be a quality signing for West Brom
Racic’s potential signing by the Baggies would represent a quality addition due to his robust profile as a defensive midfielder and he’d be an ideal Okay Yokuslu replacement.
At 26 years old, the Serbian brings a blend of experience and physicality, standing at 6ft 3in, which could be pivotal in the Championship’s physical battles.
His time at clubs like Valencia and now Sassuolo has equipped him with the tactical awareness and technical skills necessary for a league where midfield dominance can dictate game outcomes.
Racic’s ability to play both as a central midfielder and a defensive midfielder offers tactical flexibility, allowing West Brom to adapt their formation based on opponents.
His international experience with Serbia adds another layer of quality, suggesting he can perform under pressure.
Carlos Corberan is looking for some quality in the middle of the park and can do with someone of the Serbian’s calibre.
In West Brom news, a three-step plan is revealed as the Baggies have tabled a bid to sign a new defender in this transfer window.
