Transfer targets14 Dec 2026
The paperwork begins on João Loiola
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Penedense have done the hard part with Fluminense, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

A falling-out at Penedense
Alexandre and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Penedense promote Vitor Costa from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Vitor Costa 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.

Guilherme Vieira 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 manager makes an example of Athirson Kauan
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

André Rosa signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” André Rosa and Penedense agree another 3 years.

Esquerdinha: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Penedense will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.
Market14 Dec 2026
The Wanderson Felipe talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Penedense know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Penedense in the hunt for Europe
Position 6, 25 points, and a run-in that decides whether next season has Thursday nights in it. Nobody is calling it a race yet, which is what people say during one.
