Transfer targets14 Dec 2026
The paperwork begins on Kleber Díaz
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Depor have done the hard part with Union Magdalena, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Nueva Chicago tell Depor: Thiago Ocampo 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.

Mateo Torres steps up from the Depor academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Mateo Torres has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Yovany García 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 Depor this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Depor ask about Frank Ruiz
A loan enquiry to Once Caldas: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Santiago Saavedra told to find a new club
“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Santiago Saavedra has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Depor.

Eder Balanta knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Eder Balanta trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Juan David Aguilar: “I am not a substitute”
“I have done everything asked of me in training and it has not changed a thing on a Saturday.” The most familiar complaint in football, and one Depor will have to answer with minutes or with a transfer.

Mateo Serna has settled at Depor
The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.
