Squad

A move Leonel Miranda would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Leonel Miranda is living that version at Ibiza, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets

$1.3M settles it between the clubs for Héctor Hernández

Gil Vicente have accepted the money. What Ibiza do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Ibiza turn down Ceuta for Manu Pedreño

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Sala

Squad

Bébé 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 Ibiza this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

In brief
