Nahuel Tenaglia asks to leave Alavés
“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.

A fracture rules Kévin Diogo out for 125 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Alavés will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Alavés turn down Las Palmas for Carles Aleñá
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Jon Gil has said yes to Ventspils
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Alavés have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Javi Villar will not be coming to Alavés
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Albacete is saying, and nobody at Alavés is enjoying the guessing.

Tempers go at Alavés
Yusi 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.
