Marked for Samuel Molano

Squad3 Jul 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Samuel Molano

20 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Patriotas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market3 Jul 2028

Sebastián Moreno 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 The request is on a desk at Patriotas, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets3 Jul 2028

Éwil Murillo will not be coming to Patriotas

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Millonarios is saying, and nobody at Patriotas is enjoying the guessing.

Squad3 Jul 2028

A row about effort at Patriotas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Deyson Copete was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets3 Jul 2028

Millonarios tell Patriotas: José Cavadia is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout3 Jul 2028

Alexander Carabalí frozen out at Patriotas

This is not rotation. Alexander Carabalí has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Patriotas is pretending otherwise.

Squad3 Jul 2028

A falling-out at Patriotas

Sebastián Moreno and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets3 Jul 2028

A loan move for Éwil Murillo is in the works

Patriotas have made the call to Millonarios. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets3 Jul 2028

Patriotas ask about José Cavadia

A loan enquiry to Millonarios: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad26 Jun 2028

A knee injury of the worst kind for Samuel Molano

27 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Patriotas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market26 Jun 2028

Esteven Salguero asks to leave Patriotas

“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.

Match26 Jun 2028

Patriotas finish in position 7

29 points, and the season has a number on it. Whatever it felt like from the inside, this is what it will look like in a book.

Market26 Jun 2028

Patriotas say no — this time

The offer from Spaeri for Ferney Rivadeneira 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.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

An offer of $920.0K for Bautista Canabal

Patriotas have gone to Jaguares 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.

Squad26 Jun 2028

Tempers go at Patriotas

Leandro Barro 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.

Squad26 Jun 2028

A row about effort at Patriotas

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Deyson Copete was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets26 Jun 2028

Door shut on Kevin Tamayo

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

Market26 Jun 2028

Union Magdalena join the queue for Juan Sebastián Sarmiento

Add another name to the list: Union Magdalena have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Juan Sebastián Sarmiento. The answer from Patriotas has not changed — yet.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Samuel Molano damages knee ligaments — 34 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 34 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.

Market19 Jun 2028

Ferney Rivadeneira 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 Patriotas can pretend not to have heard.

The dugout19 Jun 2028

Crhistian Baquero says Patriotas 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.

Squad19 Jun 2028

A falling-out at Patriotas

Deyson Copete and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets19 Jun 2028

Millonarios tell Patriotas: Santiago Cuero is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match17 Jun 2028

Patriotas come up short against Barranquilla

Barranquilla left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Esteven Salguero reaches 200 appearances

200 games in the shirt. Nobody sets out to build a record like that; it happens to a certain kind of player at a certain kind of club, and this town knows what it has.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Crhistian Baquero signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Crhistian Baquero commits to Patriotas for another 3 years.

The dugout19 Jun 2028

Éder Chaux is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Squad12 Jun 2028

The knee: Samuel Molano out for 41 days

41 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Patriotas lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match10 Jun 2028

Patriotas strike at the death to beat Valledupar

There were 89 minutes on the clock and Valledupar had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Patriotas did not stop to explain themselves.

Market12 Jun 2028

Terms done: Juan Sebastián Sarmiento is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Aguilas Doradas waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Patriotas is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets12 Jun 2028

Patriotas make their move for Emerson Batalla

$3.0M on the table at Atletico Bucaramanga. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Juan Sebastián Sarmiento 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 Patriotas can pretend not to have heard.

Juan Manuel Rengifo will not be coming to Patriotas

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Atletico Nacional is saying, and nobody at Patriotas is enjoying the guessing.
