Marked for Yan

From our football correspondent Steady

Market25 Jan 2027

Shonan Bellmare come back empty-handed

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

Squad25 Jan 2027

Tempers go at Guarani

Isaque 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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Nathan Melo 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 dugout25 Jan 2027

The manager makes an example of Diego Torres

“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.

Loan watch25 Jan 2027

Yan counts the days

“I watch every Guarani game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at São Luiz runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Squad25 Jan 2027

“I want to play”: João Celeri speaks

“I respect the manager and I am not going to sit here and pretend I am happy.” It is the most common sentence in football and it has never once been the end of a story.

Market25 Jan 2027

The Guilherme Maranhão talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Guarani know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Renan Castro gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Renan Castro is on it.

The dugout25 Jan 2027

Maurício Antônio knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Maurício Antônio trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

The São Luiz Sentinel

21 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Jhon Flórez says São Luiz went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Transfer targets21 Dec 2026

Fee done, terms next for Gabriel Rocha

São Luiz and Ceará have settled on $55.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Joaquín Villanueva 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 São Luiz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets21 Dec 2026

Figueirense tell São Luiz: Ericson 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.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Joaquín Villanueva 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.

Squad21 Dec 2026

São Luiz are still strangers to each other

9 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Squad21 Dec 2026

No place for George Pitbull in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation São Luiz are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad21 Dec 2026

This league is too small for Renatto Chira

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. São Luiz will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Matheus Dias has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Matheus Dias has written the date down.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market14 Dec 2026

Guarani say no — this time

The offer from Portuguesa for Guilherme Maranhão was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

The dugout14 Dec 2026

Maurício Antônio keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Guarani may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Too dear: Guarani walk away from Vinícius Mingotti

$3.3M was the most the club would pay and Operário Ferroviário were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Boardroom14 Dec 2026

Kaique Henrique signs for Ceilândia while still at Guarani

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Kaique Henrique has agreed terms with Ceilândia for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Guarani

Isaque and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Guilherme Parede 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.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

Guarani rebuffed over José María Herrera

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bragantino have kept their man, and Guarani go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market14 Dec 2026

Eyes on Yan again

The phone has started ringing about Yan again, and this time the name on the line is São Luiz. Guarani are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Home comes calling for David Ricardo

A club from his own country has asked the question, and he has never pretended he did not want to be asked. Guarani have a conversation ahead of them that they will not win with money.

The São Luiz Sentinel

14 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad14 Dec 2026

George Pitbull gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. George Pitbull has just signed for São Luiz, and for once the answer mattered.

Market14 Dec 2026

Professor 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 São Luiz can pretend not to have heard.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Real improvement from Emilio Troncoso at São Luiz

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Emilio Troncoso is 20, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at São Luiz

Welligton and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad14 Dec 2026

Renatto Chira signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Renatto Chira and São Luiz agree another 1 years.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

São Bernardo tell São Luiz: Lucas Reis 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.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

A loan move for Yan is in the works

São Luiz have made the call to Guarani. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

São Luiz ask about Bruno Lopes

A loan enquiry to Vasco da Gama: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Market14 Dec 2026

Talks stall between São Luiz and George Pitbull

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Vintage Willian Farias — 8.26

At 37 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 8.26, and nobody on the pitch better.

Market21 Sep 2026

Yan 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 Guarani, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market21 Sep 2026

Lucão has one foot out of the door

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

Squad21 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Guarani

Lucca and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match19 Sep 2026

Willian Farias the difference as Guarani beat Confiança

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Willian Farias. 2‑0 against Confiança, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Isaque runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad21 Sep 2026

A row about effort at Guarani

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nathan Melo was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings21 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Guilherme Parede at his very best

Marked 8.00. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Guarani.

The dugout21 Sep 2026

A satisfied Vitor Teixeira

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 2‑0, Vitor Teixeira could afford to be generous.
