Diego Mercado is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at San Martín SJ is pretending he will be back in the shirt.
Boardroom12 Oct 2026
Diego Mercado has agreed to leave San Martín SJ for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

A falling-out at San Martín SJ
Sebastián González and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

A row about effort at San Martín SJ
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nicolás Paz was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

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

A door opens for Nicolás Pelaitay
He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Federico Murillo knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Federico Murillo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

A wage question at San Martín SJ
Julián Marchio has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

Still no signature from Julián Marchio
3 months left and the two sides are nowhere near each other. Every week this drags on takes money off what San Martín SJ could get for him.
