Nicolás Fernández moves on
Colo-Colo pay $3.6M, 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.

The paperwork begins on Alexandro Maidana
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. UAI Urquiza have done the hard part with Talleres, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Words exchanged at UAI Urquiza
Tomás Asprea 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.

Deportes Copiapó join the queue for Enzo Díaz
Add another name to the list: Deportes Copiapó have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Enzo Díaz. The answer from UAI Urquiza has not changed — yet.

UAI Urquiza ask about Santiago Roggero
A loan enquiry to Gimnasia y Esgrima: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

A loan move for Oscar Gonzalez is in the works
UAI Urquiza have made the call to Godoy Cruz. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
