Transfer targets

$110.0K settles it between the clubs for Michael Barragán

Fortaleza CEIF have accepted the money. What Patriotas do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

Alejandro Amaya is on his way

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

Squad

Ángel Mora is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad

A muscle injury sidelines Sebastián Moreno for 14 days

Nobody makes a documentary about a hamstring and everybody in the game fears one. Patriotas will be careful with the return date, because the second one is always worse than the first.

Transfer targets

Club America tell Patriotas: Fernando Tapia is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Squad

Tempers go at Patriotas

Javier Cordoba 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.

Squad

Iván Camacho 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.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Raúl Loaiza is in the works

Patriotas have made the call to Racing Club. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

Patriotas try to borrow Ivo Visona

Platense have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Market

Only the photograph left for Alejandro Amaya

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Alejandro Amaya will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Patriotas the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad

The step up is real for Ángel Mora

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad

Kevin Álvarez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Kevin Álvarez and Patriotas agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Patriotas

Javier Angulo 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.

The dugout

No hiding place for Sebastián Moreno

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastián Moreno, and the manager let it.

Squad

Patriotas count the cost of losing Juan Esteban Sánchez

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Looking ahead

Éder Chaux goes back to face Deportes Tolima

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Éder Chaux’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Patriotas needing him to play as if none of it matters.

The dugout

Iván Camacho knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Patriotas, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout

Jonnier Torres has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Patriotas will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.
