The Trofense Chronicle
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Door shut on Daniel Rivas
Trofense asked and AVS said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Words exchanged at Trofense
Ricardo Alves 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.
The terraces24 Aug 2026
One of their own: Peixinho
He is 22 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match22 Aug 2026
Peixinho sends Trofense past Vitória Guimarães B
It finished 1‑0, and it was Peixinho’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Trofense.

Duarte Simoes out for 39 days
The medical room confirms 39 days on the sidelines for Duarte Simoes, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.
Market24 Aug 2026
Still no ink between Trofense and Diogo Pereira
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Trofense, another week without a signature from Diogo Pereira.

Trofense are still strangers to each other
20 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.
Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Peixinho stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.65 on the card, and the Trofense support went home talking about one name.

Ruben Santos signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ruben Santos and Trofense agree another 3 years.
