Squad14 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dante Blanco

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

Match11 Dec 2026

A European night to remember for Lanús

2‑0 against Millonarios, under lights, against people who do not speak the same language as the crowd. These are the evenings a club measures its decade in, and there are never as many of them as anybody expects.

Match11 Dec 2026

14 unbeaten for Lanús

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 14 matches without defeat is a foundation Lanús did not have in the autumn.

Match11 Dec 2026

Lanús strike at the death to beat Millonarios

There were 85 minutes on the clock and Millonarios had all but banked the point. Football rarely reads the room, and Lanús did not stop to explain themselves.

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

The paperwork begins on Eduardo Darias

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Lanús have done the hard part with Penarol, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market14 Dec 2026

Lanús sign Lucas Palavecino for $460.0K

The paperwork is done: Lucas Palavecino joins from Banfield in a deal worth $460.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad14 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Lanús

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

Transfer targets14 Dec 2026

No deal for Francisco Gerometta at that price

Lanús offered $450.0K; Godoy Cruz said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Market14 Dec 2026

José Canale moves on

River Plate pay $760.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Dante Blanco

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

The dugout7 Dec 2026

Marcelino Moreno: that is not what I was promised

“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Lanús have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Lanús bid $1.3M for Lucas Varaldo

The offer went to Central Córdoba SdE 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.

Market7 Dec 2026

Lanús turn down General Diaz for Luca Kmet

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

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Ramiro Bornia due for a Lanús medical

Everything agreed with Estudiantes, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Lanús bid $460.0K for Lucas Palavecino

The offer went to Banfield 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.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Lanús make their move for Francisco Gerometta

$450.0K on the table at Godoy Cruz. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Lanús

Nahuel Losada 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.

Market7 Dec 2026

River Plate watching José Canale

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Lanús have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad28 Sep 2026

A falling-out at Lanús

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

The dugout28 Sep 2026

No hiding place for Franco Petroli

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Franco Petroli, and the manager let it.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Nobody could get near Dylan Aquino

Successful dribbles: 17. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad28 Sep 2026

8 new faces, and Lanús 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 Sep 2026

Marcelino Moreno has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Lanús will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Agustín Cardozo asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

Carlos Alberto Castillo on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Carlos Alberto Castillo after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Dante Blanco falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Juan Pablo Rodríguez is a square peg at Lanús

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.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Yoshan Valois, 21, steals the show — 8.46

Marked 8.46 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nicolás Morgantini pops up at the right end — 7.23

7.23, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Market17 Aug 2026

Raúl Loaiza has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Lanús they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Market17 Aug 2026

Lanús say no — this time

The offer from Mirandés for Jeremías Chavero 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.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Lanús to lose Raúl Loaiza for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Raúl Loaiza 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Lanús

Nahuel Losada 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about Lanús and Newell's Old Boys in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Pedro Silva Torrejón will join Lanús for nothing

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Lanús training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dante Blanco 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.
