Valladolid rebuffed over Álex Valle
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Como have kept their man, and Valladolid go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

An offer of $6.9M for César Palacios
Valladolid have gone to Real Madrid 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.

Valladolid bid $5.1M for Ignacio Perruzzi
The offer went to San Lorenzo 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.

Fernando Tapia will not be coming to Valladolid
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Club America is saying, and nobody at Valladolid is enjoying the guessing.

Ramón stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Ramón and Valladolid agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Luis Chacón 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.

Valladolid turn down the training-ground plan
It is the quietest way a club tells you what its ambitions are. The money was asked for, the money was refused, and the people who work there every day now know exactly where they stand.

Yeray Cabanzón goes back to face Racing Santander
Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Yeray Cabanzón’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Valladolid needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Iván Alejo has seen what the next man earns
Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Valladolid that is a harder question to answer.
In brief
- Squad A season on the outside for Kaj de Rooij
- Market Valladolid put Mario Maroto up for sale
- Looking ahead Looking ahead: the trip to Racing Santander
