Player ratings

Both of them Bryan Limbombe's — 8.39

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.39, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets

An offer of $5.7M for Leandro Antonetti

Maritimo have gone to Estrela da Amadora with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market

Igor Julião asks to leave Maritimo

“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.

Market

Maritimo sign Diogo Monteiro for $1.9M

The paperwork is done: Diogo Monteiro joins from Arouca in a deal worth $1.9M. Now comes the harder part.

Transfer targets

Jose Rios turns down Maritimo

The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Cortulua keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Match

6 goals as Maritimo and Oliveirense go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 6 goals between Maritimo and Oliveirense, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Match

Bryan Limbombe the difference as Maritimo beat Oliveirense

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Bryan Limbombe. 4‑2 against Oliveirense, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Transfer targets

Las Palmas tell Maritimo: Hugo Weckmann is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

Adrián Butzke in the eights

A performance of 8.91 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

In brief

  • The terraces The crowd has taken to Martín Tejón
  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Alfredo
  • Player ratings Simo runs at them all day

Transfer targets

Maritimo bid $6.1M for Yanis Begraoui

The offer went to Estoril Praia this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Maritimo turn down Vizela for Sidney Osei

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

Josué Sá due for a Maritimo medical

Everything agreed with Lusitânia Lourosa, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Squad

Words exchanged at Maritimo

Adrián Butzke 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.

Transfer targets

Maritimo rebuffed over Rayhan Momade

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sporting CP have kept their man, and Maritimo go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Tiago Mendes steps up from the Maritimo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Tiago Mendes has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

One of our own: Lucas Lopes joins the Maritimo first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Lucas Lopes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Tiago Conceicao steps up from the Maritimo academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Tiago Conceicao has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Pedro Silva signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pedro Silva commits to Maritimo for another 3 years.
