Lorent Talla puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Rio Ave, and it is not being withdrawn.

Portimonense tell Rio Ave: Tiago Mamede 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.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Rio Ave go back to the board over Issiar Dramé

No thanks: Pedro Fonseca rejects the move
Rio Ave had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Cortulua, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Rio Ave turn down Leixões for Julien Lomboto
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Rio Ave bid $280.0K for Issiar Dramé
The offer went to Estrela da Amadora 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.

Match22 Aug 2026
A bad afternoon for Rio Ave against Alverca
0‑2 to Alverca, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Rafael Lobato 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.
In brief
- The dugout Marco Castro answers for it
- Player ratings Ole Pohlmann runs at them all day
