Marked for Jhon Moreno

Market28 Dec 2026
The bid was some way short and Llaneros did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Market28 Dec 2026
“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.
Market28 Dec 2026
Add another name to the list: Junior have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Léider Riascos. The answer from Llaneros has not changed — yet.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Francisco Meza 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.
Boardroom28 Dec 2026
Wages eat 690% of everything Llaneros 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
59 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Loan watch28 Dec 2026
“I did not go to Santa Fe to sit and watch. I want to come back to Llaneros and fight for my place.” 0 appearances in 0 matches say the rest.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Léider Riascos asks for a word with the manager
“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
The terraces28 Dec 2026
The stands have heard the Léider Riascos talk too
What was a back-page story is now a matter for the terraces, and the terraces do not do nuance. Llaneros would like it dealt with before it becomes the only question anybody asks.

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 The request is on a desk at Santa Fe, and it is not being withdrawn.
Squad28 Dec 2026
Maximiliano Lovera 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.
Boardroom28 Dec 2026
Wages eat 114% of everything Santa Fe 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
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
Squad28 Dec 2026
The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Gustavo Ramírez keeps the shirt for now, at Santa Fe's convenience rather than his own.
Market28 Dec 2026
The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Emanuel Olivera may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Llaneros say no — this time
The offer from Depor for Kevin Caicedo was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Squad14 Dec 2026
64 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.
Squad14 Dec 2026
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Llaneros this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Squad14 Dec 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Yefri Velasco and Llaneros agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Market14 Dec 2026
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Llaneros will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
Squad14 Dec 2026
Néider Ospina knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Néider Ospina trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Jaguares come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Llaneros did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad7 Dec 2026
Kelvin Osorio 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.
Market7 Dec 2026
The name of Jhon Moreno has come up in conversations Llaneros were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Luis Miranda is not doing himself any favours
A manager forgives a bad Saturday far more readily than a bad Tuesday, because one of them he can explain and the other one he chose. The reports this week have not been good.
Squad24 Aug 2026
The manager plants his flag on Jhon Moreno
“Judge me on him.” Managers do not say that kind of thing by accident — it moves the pressure from Jhon Moreno’s shoulders onto his own, and both of them know it.

Crisis
Match12 Aug 2026
The cup run ends for Llaneros
1‑2 against Millonarios, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Successful dribbles: 24. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

A performance of 8.48 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
