Transfer targets7 Aug 2028

Stade de Reims make their move for Khalis Merah

$6.9M on the table at FC Lorient. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market7 Aug 2028

Mathieu Gorgelin asks to leave Stade de Reims

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Market7 Aug 2028

Business is business: Lassine Diarra goes

FC Nantes paid $2.5M and Stade de Reims took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Boardroom7 Aug 2028

Stade de Reims go back to the board over Khalis Merah

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $7.2M — a club that wants Khalis Merah enough to be asked twice.

Squad7 Aug 2028

A falling-out at Stade de Reims

Hákon Arnar Haraldsson and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Joseph Aidoo falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout7 Aug 2028

John Patrick frozen out at Stade de Reims

This is not rotation. John Patrick has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Stade de Reims is pretending otherwise.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Joseph Okumu wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Stade de Reims know it.

Squad7 Aug 2028

Sergio Araujo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Sergio Araujo and Stade de Reims agree another 2 years.

The Boca Juniors Courier

1 Nov 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match27 Oct 2027

The small margins put Boca Juniors out

Out, 1‑1 to Estudiantes, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Agustín Marchesín wins the shoot-out

1 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match30 Oct 2027

Nobody wins at Boca Juniors

13 home matches unbeaten. Visiting sides arrive already talking about the atmosphere, which is usually the sign that they have half-lost before kickoff.

Match30 Oct 2027

9 unbeaten for Boca Juniors

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 9 matches without defeat is a foundation Boca Juniors did not have in the autumn.

Squad1 Nov 2027

Billy Gilmour in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Boca Juniors this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

No hiding place for Hamza Igamane

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Hamza Igamane, and the manager let it.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

The kick that got away from Sergio Araujo

Twelve yards, a goalkeeper guessing, and it still did not go in. He will take the next one, and every soul in the ground will hold their breath.

Player ratings1 Nov 2027

The afternoon belonged to Kevin Zenón

A mark of 7.57, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

The dugout1 Nov 2027

When it matters, Billy Gilmour plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The Boca Juniors Courier

29 Mar 2027
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Market29 Mar 2027

Sergio Araujo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Boca Juniors, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Words exchanged at Boca Juniors

Milton Delgado and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad29 Mar 2027

A row about effort at Boca Juniors

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cristian Pavón was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad29 Mar 2027

7 new faces, and Boca Juniors are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

No hiding place for Leonel Flores

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Leonel Flores, and the manager let it.

Looking ahead29 Mar 2027

A reunion for Kevin Zenón

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Unión de Santa Fe in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad29 Mar 2027

Lautaro Di Lollo wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Boca Juniors have no good answer.

The dugout29 Mar 2027

The manager makes Rodrigo Battaglia a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Boca Juniors. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market29 Mar 2027

Still no ink between Boca Juniors and Joaquín Ruiz

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Boca Juniors, another week without a signature from Joaquín Ruiz.
