The Internacional Courier

Thiago Maia agrees terms with Chapecoense
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Internacional people have started saying his name in the past tense.
Player ratings12 Jul 2027
Both of them Vitinho's — 8.85
2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.85, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.
Match12 Jul 2027
Internacional are in among the leaders
Position 3 and 30 points on the board. Nobody at the ground will say the word out loud yet, and everybody at the ground is thinking it.
Market12 Jul 2027
Torpedo Kutaisi come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Internacional did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Alexandro Bernabei attracts admirers
The name of Alexandro Bernabei has come up in conversations Internacional were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Internacional rebuffed over Ramon
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Náutico have kept their man, and Internacional go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match10 Jul 2027
8 unbeaten for Internacional
Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 8 matches without defeat is a foundation Internacional did not have in the autumn.
Boardroom12 Jul 2027
Internacional go back to the board over Hugo Leonardo
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Hugo Leonardo enough to be asked twice.
Boardroom12 Jul 2027
Eduardo has agreed to leave Internacional for nothing
He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.
In brief
- Market Ronaldo moves on
- Squad Alan Rodríguez stays put
- Squad A falling-out at Internacional
