Squad

Bruno Brígido wins the shoot-out

2 kept out from twelve yards, and a stadium that will describe each of them for twenty years. A goalkeeper needs one night like this in a career, and this was it.

Match

The small margins put América Mineiro out

Out, 2‑2 to Chapecoense, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Market

Guilherme Nogueira agrees terms with Maranhão

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

Market

Alê 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 The request is on a desk at América Mineiro, and it is not being withdrawn.

Transfer targets

$400.0K settles it between the clubs for Thiago Martínez

Ferroviário have accepted the money. What América Mineiro do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

América Mineiro say no — this time

The offer from Criciúma for Rafa Barcelos 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.

Match

América Mineiro end the wait against Paysandu

It had gone 9 games. The players did not celebrate like men who had won a match; they celebrated like men who had been let out of something.

Market

América Mineiro get their man

The chase for Henrique ended with $680.0K changing hands and Paysandu out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad

Eduardo Person stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Eduardo Person and América Mineiro agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets

Kauê Furquim will not be coming to América Mineiro

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

Transfer targets

No deal for Vinicius Rocha at that price

América Mineiro offered $69.0K; Santos 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.

Squad

Words at América Mineiro training over how hard people work

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

Transfer targets

Estudiantes tell América Mineiro: Joaquín García 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.

Squad

A falling-out at América Mineiro

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

The dugout

América Mineiro keep their word to Tobías Ostchega

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

Transfer targets

América Mineiro ask about Vanderlan

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

Market

No place for Samuel in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Samuel has his answer from América Mineiro; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

Squad

No place for Kawê in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation América Mineiro are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief

  • The dugout The manager makes an example of Enrico
  • The dugout Alê gets picked when it counts
  • The dugout Mathías León has been promised minutes

Market

Matheus Alves asks to leave América Mineiro

“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.

The dugout

Enrico says América Mineiro 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.

Market

Tobías Ostchega 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 América Mineiro can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Boardroom

América Mineiro go back to the board over Vinicius Rocha

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $77.9K — a club that wants Vinicius Rocha enough to be asked twice.

Squad

Words exchanged at América Mineiro

Maguinho 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 targets

América Mineiro bid $69.0K for Vinicius Rocha

The offer went to Santos 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 targets

AEL tell América Mineiro: João Celeri 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

A season away well spent by Breno

30 games, 1 goals, and a squad option that has arrived without a fee attached. The interesting question at América Mineiro now is not whether he plays but who he displaces.

Market

América Mineiro buy the years ahead of Kawê

He is 20, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

In brief
