Boardroom

Rentistas go back to the board over Marcos Ferreira

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $170.0K — a club that wants Marcos Ferreira enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

An offer of $490.0K for Nicolás Azambuja

Rentistas have gone to Danubio with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Transfer targets

Rentistas bid $150.0K for Marcos Ferreira

The offer went to Miramar Misiones 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.

Squad

César Horst 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 Rentistas this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Boardroom

Bautista Cabrera will join Rentistas for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Bautista Cabrera has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Rentistas have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Squad

Words at Rentistas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simón Bentancur 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.

Squad

Alan Benítez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Alan Benítez and Rentistas agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

The dugout

Franco Cabrera gets it from the manager

“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.

Market

Jean Martínez told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Jean Martínez has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Rentistas.

Market

Lautaro Dufur asks to leave Rentistas

“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.

Squad

Tempers go at Rentistas

Michel Silveira 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

Rentistas are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

The dugout

Nicolás Mallet 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 Nicolás Mallet trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Squad

Pavel Núñez is a square peg at Rentistas

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.

Squad

Rentistas have started building around Nicolás Mallet

He used to be one of the options. He is now one of the men the options are picked around, and the change happened quietly enough that only the dressing room noticed on the day.

Market

Jean Martínez 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 Rentistas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Words exchanged at Rentistas

César Horst and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Squad

A move Pavel Núñez 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. Pavel Núñez is living that version at Rentistas, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Michel Silveira signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Michel Silveira and Rentistas agree another 3 years.

Squad

Words at Rentistas training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Simón Bentancur 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.

Market

A long bet from Rentistas on Pavel Núñez

He is 20, and nobody at Rentistas signed him for this season. Deals like this are judged in four years, by people who may not still be in the building.
