Transfer targets21 Dec 2026

Jair is a medical away from Athletico Paranaense

The deal with Nottingham Forest is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Match21 Dec 2026

Athletico Paranaense are top

41 points and nobody above them. The word is not being said around the ground yet, and it is being thought in every seat.

Market21 Dec 2026

Athletico Paranaense sell Kevin Viveros for $13.4M

Kevin Viveros has left for Vélez in a $13.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market21 Dec 2026

Marcos Correia arrives at Athletico Paranaense in a $5.1M statement of intent

There comes a point where a club either backs its own ambition or admits it does not have any. Athletico Paranaense have paid $5.1M for Marcos Correia, which is the loudest way there is of saying which one it chose.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Marcos Correia gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Marcos Correia has just signed for Athletico Paranaense, and for once the answer mattered.

The terraces21 Dec 2026

Athletico Paranaense sell a favourite for $13.4M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Kevin Viveros was one of the reasons people came, and $13.4M does not replace that by itself.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

Habraão says Athletico Paranaense 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

No deal for Richard at that price

Athletico Paranaense offered $1.4M; Água Santa said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market21 Dec 2026

Arthur wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Match31 Oct 2026

15 unbeaten for Athletico Paranaense

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 15 matches without defeat is a foundation Athletico Paranaense did not have in the autumn.

Loan watch2 Nov 2026

The goals keep arriving from Gonzalo Mastriani’s exile

16 goals in 13 games at América Mineiro — numbers that travel home faster than he does. Somebody at Athletico Paranaense updates a spreadsheet every Monday, and it makes better reading each week.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Felipinho signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Felipinho and Athletico Paranaense agree another 4 years.

Squad2 Nov 2026

Carlos Terán 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 Athletico Paranaense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Gilberto beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Match31 Oct 2026

Athletico Paranaense get the job done against Coritiba

A 1‑0 win over Coritiba, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

Kevin Viveros was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.28. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings2 Nov 2026

One of those days for Lucas Esquivel

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.17, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Match27 Oct 2026

Athletico Paranaense caught on 94 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Criciúma scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

Match26 Sep 2026

Athletico Paranaense make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Athletico Paranaense have 5 straight wins of it.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Gilberto is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Athletico Paranaense are at home on the road

4 straight away victories. Sides that win away are usually sides that can defend and can counter, and the table has begun to reflect what those journeys have earned.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at Athletico Paranaense

Juan Camilo Portilla 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.

Match26 Sep 2026

Kevin Viveros the difference as Athletico Paranaense beat Ferroviária

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

Market28 Sep 2026

Felipe Aguirre wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Ninety minutes of Arthur at his very best

Marked 8.36. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Athletico Paranaense.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at Athletico Paranaense training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alejandro García 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.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Kevin Viveros

Marked 8.18 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
