Market

Yimy Gamero asks to leave Melgar

“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.

Market

Juan Aurich come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Melgar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad

Tempers go at Melgar

Lautaro Guzmán 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.

Market

Melgar turn down Juan Aurich for Bernardo Cuesta

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

Market

Jorge Cabezudo hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Melgar can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Jorge Cabezudo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Melgar they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Alejandro Ramos in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Melgar this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Business is business: Piero Covinos goes

Cesar Vallejo paid $310.0K and Melgar took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad

Matías Lazo loses a friend at Melgar

The move was somebody else's story. What it left behind was a dressing-room stall nobody has taken and a player who keeps looking at it.

Squad

Tempers go at Melgar

Alejandro Ramos 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.

Boardroom

Wages eat 232% of everything Melgar earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bernardo Cuesta

“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.
