Squad

Bautista Hernández damages knee ligaments — 30 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 30 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market

José Devecchi puts it in writing

“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 The request is on a desk at San Lorenzo, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

San Lorenzo bid $15.4M for Facundo Colidio

The offer went to Vasco da Gama this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market

Terms done: Ignacio Mónaco is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Arsenal waiting with a shirt. Nobody at San Lorenzo is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets

San Lorenzo baulk at the price for André Henrique

Grêmio wanted more than $6.3M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market

Joaquín Stizza is a San Lorenzo player

The fee is $4.6M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Dock Sud drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Market

San Lorenzo sell Agustín Ladstatter for $2.8M

Agustín Ladstatter has left for River Plate in a $2.8M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

A move Felipe Cairus would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Felipe Cairus is living that version at San Lorenzo, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Tempers go at San Lorenzo

Gastón Hernández 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.

In brief
