Marked for Miguel Marulanda

Steady
Market28 Dec 2026
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Envigado, and it is not being withdrawn.
Market28 Dec 2026
The bid was some way short and Envigado did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Edison López in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Envigado this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Envigado training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Luis Ángel Díaz is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
Boardroom28 Dec 2026
Wages eat 126% of everything Envigado earn
There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Didier Dawson has become a man the manager trusts
Nobody at Envigado 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.
Back issues

A fracture rules Geindry Cuervo out for 68 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Envigado will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Miguel Marulanda, 18, plays like he has been here for years — 7.97
A mark of 7.97 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 18-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.
Market5 Oct 2026
It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Julián Palacios wants continental football; whether Envigado can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.
Match3 Oct 2026
Envigado make it 3 in a row
Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Envigado have 3 straight wins of it.

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Oct 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” William Hurtado and Envigado agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words at Envigado training over how hard people work

Ninety minutes of Luis Ángel Díaz at his very best
Marked 9.26. Players have careers without a single afternoon like this in them, and he has just had one in front of everybody at Envigado.

No sign of nerves from Miguel Marulanda at 18 — 8.10
The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Miguel Marulanda did not need any: 8.10, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

The terraces24 Aug 2026
At 18 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Squad24 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Neymar Uribe, and the manager let it.
