Market17 Jan 2028

Elías Gómez is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Vélez is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market17 Jan 2028

Patricio Moyano asks to leave Vélez

“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.

Market17 Jan 2028

Vélez turn down Beitar Jerusalem for Agustín Cortez

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

Squad17 Jan 2028

Elías Cabrera gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market17 Jan 2028

Emanuel Mammana linked with a move away

The name of Emanuel Mammana keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Vélez say nothing, which says plenty.

Squad17 Jan 2028

Valentín Sánchez knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Vélez, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Álvaro Montero gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Imanol Machuca is in the form of his life

A season average of 7.32 with 7 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

Market16 Aug 2027

Houston Dynamo expected to open talks for Florián Monzón

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Vélez will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.

Loan watch16 Aug 2027

12 goals on loan for Francisco Pozzo

27 appearances at Union La Calera and the goals keep coming. Vélez are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Rodrigo Russo out for 39 days

The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Rodrigo Russo, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Loan watch16 Aug 2027

Santiago Uriza has seen enough of Alianza Lima

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Vélez, and 0 appearances in 5 say he has earned the hearing.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Valentín Sánchez gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Loan watch16 Aug 2027

Jonathan Berón keeps scoring at Tristán Suárez

28 appearances away from home and 3 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Loan watch16 Aug 2027

3 goals on loan for Jano Gordon

27 appearances at Palestino and the goals keep coming. Vélez are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

Market16 Aug 2027

Abdullateef Ishola joins Vélez on a free

No fee and no drama: Abdullateef Ishola has signed at Vélez, and the wage bill is the only line that moved.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Abdullateef Ishola asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Florián Monzón attracts admirers

The name of Florián Monzón has come up in conversations Vélez were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad9 Aug 2027

The manager makes an example of Florián Monzón

“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.

10 goals on loan for Michael Santos

17 appearances at Central Córdoba SdE and the goals keep coming. Vélez are watching this more closely than the borrowing club would like.

RC Lens watching Florián Monzón

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Vélez have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market21 Jun 2027

Vélez turn down Chacarita Juniors for Santiago Uriza

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

Vélez sell Ignacio Cellerino for $1.6M

Ignacio Cellerino has left for Cruzeiro in a $1.6M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market21 Jun 2027

Valentín Sánchez is a Vélez player

The fee is $540.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Huracán drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Agustín Cortez signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Agustín Cortez commits to Vélez for another 4 years.

Squad21 Jun 2027

Diego Valdés has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Diego Valdés keeps the shirt for now, at Vélez's convenience rather than his own.
