Squad5 Jul 2027

134 days out for Giorgos Liavas after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Rio Ave will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad5 Jul 2027

Mathéo Chaigne damages knee ligaments — 21 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 21 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Boardroom5 Jul 2027

Pressure builds in the Rio Ave boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market5 Jul 2027

Rio Ave turn down Académica for Ole Pohlmann

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market5 Jul 2027

Dario Špikić asks to leave Rio Ave

“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.

Market5 Jul 2027

Antzelo Sina agrees terms with Amora

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Rio Ave people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Rio Ave make their move for Lucas João

$63.0K on the table at Nacional. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets5 Jul 2027

Door shut on Karim Konaté

Rio Ave asked and Benfica said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market5 Jul 2027

Thauan Lara wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Mathéo Chaigne damages knee ligaments — 28 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 28 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market28 Jun 2027

Paredes come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Rio Ave did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market28 Jun 2027

Diogo Bezerra asks to leave Rio Ave

“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 Jun 2027

Ryan Guilherme has his eye on Europe

It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether Rio Ave can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Words exchanged at Rio Ave

Giorgos Liavas 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.

Transfer targets28 Jun 2027

Door shut on Caio Alexandre

Rio Ave asked and Braga said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad28 Jun 2027

5 new faces, and Rio Ave are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout28 Jun 2027

Diogo Bezerra 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.

Squad28 Jun 2027

Words at Rio Ave training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Anderson 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.
