Transfer targets21 Dec 2026
Rio Branco agree $28.0K for Airton
The clubs have shaken hands with Vitória; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

A falling-out at Rio Branco
Henrique Moritz and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Transfer targets21 Dec 2026
No deal for Ítalo at that price
Rio Branco offered $80.0K; Fluminense 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.

Cleiton falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.
Squad21 Dec 2026
The formation has left Thiago Quiñonez behind
Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Rio Branco will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
Market21 Dec 2026
Still no ink between Rio Branco and Thiago Quiñonez
“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Rio Branco, another week without a signature from Thiago Quiñonez.
