Transfer targets

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.

Transfer targets

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.

Market

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.

Squad

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.

Transfer targets

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.

Market

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.

The dugout

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.

Squad

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.

Squad

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.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A falling-out at Depor

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

Squad

A row about effort at Depor

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

Market

Depor sign Mateo Serna, one for the future

Mateo Serna is 20, and Depor have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.

In brief
