Market14 Feb 2028

Alex Silva is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Ceará is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad14 Feb 2028

Tempers go at Ceará

Jesús Corona 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.

Market14 Feb 2028

The Vinicius Zanocelo talk will not go away

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

Match11 Dec 2027

No end in sight to Atletico Goianiense's wait for a win

12 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Atletico Goianiense has to find a result from somewhere.

Market13 Dec 2027

Léo Jacó moves on

Ceará pay $990.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Gabriel Xavier 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 Atletico Goianiense this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market13 Dec 2027

Léo Rosa moves on

Fortaleza pay $420.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Player ratings13 Dec 2027

Vitinho runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market13 Dec 2027

Atletico Goianiense sell Lima for $260.0K

Lima has left for Paysandu in a $260.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

A masterclass from Marrony

Marked 8.26 — 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.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Marrony is carrying Atletico Goianiense

5 goals and a season average of 7.39. Form like that gets noticed well beyond this town.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Gustavo Daniel out for 28 days

The medical room confirms 28 days on the sidelines for Gustavo Daniel, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Boardroom13 Dec 2027

Ceará have won it

This is the season the town will measure the next twenty against. The trophy travels home with the squad, and the route through the streets was agreed days ago.

Boardroom13 Dec 2027

Promotion for Ceará

Mathematically certain, and nobody in this town is going to bed early. Whatever else happened this season, it finishes a division above where it started.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Vinicius Zanocelo is named among the best

There are footballers who have a good season and footballers a season is remembered for, and the second kind get their names read out in a hall in the summer. Ceará will be quietly delighted and privately nervous.

Market13 Dec 2027

Matheus Araújo moves on

Grêmio pay $4.4M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market13 Dec 2027

Ceará sell Fernando for $2.8M

Fernando has left for Vitória in a $2.8M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Market13 Dec 2027

Léo Jacó is a Ceará player

The fee is $990.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Atletico Goianiense drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

  • Squad Vina in a row with a teammate
  • Squad Weliton signs a new deal
  • Market The Juan Alano conversation is coming
  • Squad Léo Pereira has seen what the next man earns

Match4 Dec 2027

The wait goes on for Atletico Goianiense

11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Boardroom6 Dec 2027

Atletico Goianiense put Éder Barbosa on notice

The board have said in public what they had been saying in private. Results between now and the next meeting decide it, and everybody in the building knows the arithmetic.

Market6 Dec 2027

Jean Dias 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 Atletico Goianiense can pretend not to have heard.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Ariel says Atletico Goianiense 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.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Atletico Goianiense

Gabriel Xavier 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.

Squad6 Dec 2027

The manager makes an example of Paulo Vitor

“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.

Player ratings6 Dec 2027

Nobody could get near Marrony

Successful dribbles: 19. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market6 Dec 2027

Lima attracts admirers

The name of Lima has come up in conversations Atletico Goianiense were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Squad6 Dec 2027

Vladimir stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vladimir and Atletico Goianiense agree another 1 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
