The Ceará Chronicle
Squad24 Dec 2029
12 saves: Carlos Coronel was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 12 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

The knee: Izaque Belchior out for 24 days
24 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Ceará lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.
Market24 Dec 2029
Olimpia watching Agustín Giay
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Ceará have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Ceará say no — this time
The offer from Grêmio for Evandro 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.

Gusttavo hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Ceará can pretend not to have heard.
Match22 Dec 2029
5 matches without a win for Ceará
The run now stands at 5, and the questions being asked around Ceará are no longer polite ones.

Ceará to lose Lucas Mugni for free
There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Lucas Mugni has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

William is a Ceará player
The fee is $340.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Atlético Mineiro drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.
Squad24 Dec 2029
Bruno Michel 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 Ceará this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
In brief
- Squad Vinicius Zanocelo falls out with a teammate over standards
- Boardroom Alexandre Tam will join Ceará for nothing
- Transfer targets Paysandu tell Ceará: Fredy Colmán is not for sale
