The PK-35 Chronicle

28 Aug 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Squad

Filip Valenčič breaks a bone — 48 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 48 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Squad

Severi Kähkönen signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Severi Kähkönen commits to PK-35 for another 3 years.

Squad

Maximo Tolonen 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 PK-35 this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Johannes Jepsen

PK-35 asked and Sandviken said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

The decline has begun for Riku Sjöroos

Everybody saw it before anybody said it. At 33 the numbers say 3 points down on what he was, and the question for PK-35 is how to handle a man they owe a great deal.

The dugout

Filip Valenčič 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.

The dugout

A promise honoured at PK-35

Something was said to Veikka Rättö and then it happened. In this industry that passes for remarkable, and the dressing room noticed faster than any supporter could.

Market

Bleron Ramadani already looking beyond PK-35

He signed expecting a bigger stage than the one he found. It has not taken long, and it has not taken the dressing room long to notice either.

The dugout

Alexander Forsström has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at PK-35 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.

Market

Bleron Ramadani 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 Südtirol can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Sebastián Driussi

Südtirol asked and River Plate said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad

Mauricio Tévez wants to go home

“I have given this everything, but my family is not here and neither am I, not really.” A footballer can be coached out of bad form. Nobody has ever been coached out of this, and Südtirol know it.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Adam Bareiro is in the works

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

Squad

Tempers go at Südtirol

Marco Iuliano 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.

Squad

A wage question at Südtirol

Karim Zedadka has done the arithmetic and does not like the answer. Nothing corrodes a squad faster, and no club has ever solved it by explaining the wage structure to a footballer.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Brooklyn Bailey asks to leave Südtirol

“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.

Transfer targets

Cavese tell Südtirol: Elios Minaj 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.

Squad

A step back for Salvatore Molina at Südtirol

Somebody has moved past him. It is not a dropping and it is worse than one, because a dropping is about a Saturday and this is about where he stands.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Südtirol

13 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets

A loan move for José Antonio De la Rosa is in the works

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

Squad

Hamza El Kaouakibi wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Südtirol have no good answer.

In brief
