7 matches without a win for Platense
The run now stands at 7, and the questions being asked around Platense are no longer polite ones.
Market17 Jul 2028
Juan Pablo Pignani asks to leave Platense
“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.
The dugout17 Jul 2028
Agustín Alonso says Platense went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.
Boardroom17 Jul 2028
Tomás Mena signs for Sarmiento while still at Platense
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Tomás Mena has agreed terms with Sarmiento for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.
Market17 Jul 2028
Platense get their man
The chase for Ivo Kestler ended with $510.0K changing hands and Tigre out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.
Squad17 Jul 2028
Tempers go at Platense
Pedrinho 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.
Boardroom17 Jul 2028
Platense beat the market to Facundo Barboza from Argentinos Juniors
Argentinos Juniors will keep picking him until June and will get nothing for him after it. Facundo Barboza has pre-agreed a move to Platense, and the only people who lose in that arrangement are the ones who let the contract run down.
Transfer targets17 Jul 2028
Door shut on Anass Salah-Eddine
Platense asked and AS Roma said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
The dugout17 Jul 2028
The manager makes an example of Maximiliano Amarfil
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Player ratings Franco Zapiola runs at them all day
- Squad Demián Talavera stays put
- Transfer targets Platense ask about Aarón Molinas
