Market13 Aug 2029

Terms done: Aliou Badji is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Volos NPS waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Levadiakos is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market13 Aug 2029

Elián Sosa asks to leave Levadiakos

“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.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Words exchanged at Levadiakos

Agustín Urzi and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Words at Levadiakos training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Manolis Saliakas is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Transfer targets13 Aug 2029

Slavia Prague tell Levadiakos: Nazar Domchak 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.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Markos Spatharis has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Squad13 Aug 2029

Home is on Even Knudsen's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Levadiakos are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Transfer targets13 Aug 2029

A loan move for Arnas Voitinovičius is in the works

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

The dugout13 Aug 2029

When it matters, Triantafyllos Tsapras plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Antonio Salado damages knee ligaments — 16 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 16 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market6 Aug 2029

Volos NPS come back empty-handed

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

Market6 Aug 2029

Marios Siabanis asks to leave Levadiakos

“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.

Market6 Aug 2029

Eyes on Marios Siabanis again

The phone has started ringing about Marios Siabanis again, and this time the name on the line is OFI. Levadiakos are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market6 Aug 2029

Levadiakos may not be able to give Ramiro Macagno what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Ramiro Macagno wants continental football; whether Levadiakos can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Ramiro Macagno stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ramiro Macagno and Levadiakos agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Markos Spatharis is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad6 Aug 2029

Tempers go at Levadiakos

Agustín Urzi 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.

The dugout6 Aug 2029

Manolis Saliakas has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Levadiakos will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
