A brace, and Guilherme Neiva takes the afternoon — 8.51

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Guilherme Neiva provided it, and the 8.51 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Ivan Mandić says no to Hatayspor

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ivan Mandić had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

AVS make their move for Diogo Monteiro

$1.5M on the table at Arouca. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Too dear: AVS walk away from Fran Delgado

$1.7M was the most the club would pay and Farense were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market24 Aug 2026

Roni has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether AVS can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Evertton Araújo is a medical away from AVS

The deal with Flamengo is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at AVS

Diego Duarte was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on João Teixeira

AVS asked and Chaves said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market24 Aug 2026

AVS sell Bernardo Conde for $100.0K

Bernardo Conde has left for Vizela in a $100.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

AVS make their move for Sikou Niakaté

$5.8M on the table at Braga. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Market10 Aug 2026

AVS pay Casa Pia $1.4M for a proper upgrade

Casa Pia did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $1.4M for Ivan Mandić, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Roni signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Roni and AVS agree another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at AVS

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

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

AVS rebuffed over Gabriel Bontempo

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

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Bernardo Marques joins the AVS first team

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Afonso Ribeiro steps up from the AVS academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Afonso Ribeiro 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

AVS promote Jorge Nascimento from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jorge Nascimento has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at AVS

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

An offer of $1.4M for Ivan Mandić

AVS have gone to Casa Pia 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Aderllan Santos stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Aderllan Santos and AVS agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tunde wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at AVS can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at AVS

Aderllan Santos 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 targets3 Aug 2026

Real Madrid tell AVS: Bernardo Silva 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Guilherme Neiva 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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Still no ink between AVS and Aderllan Santos

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at AVS has picked up the phone to Raul Steffens

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

AVS ask about Flávio Gonçalves

A loan enquiry to Sporting CP: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.
