Market

Gabriel Oliva 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 Cobresal can pretend not to have heard.

Squad

Tempers go at Cobresal

Jorge Pinos 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.

Squad

Too much change too quickly at Cobresal

5 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Squad

Somebody is after Franco Frías’s shirt

A new face in his position, and Franco Frías suddenly has to win back what he thought he owned. Cobresal have promised nothing — clubs rarely do at this stage.

Squad

Aarón Astudillo 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.

Market

Cobresal borrow Joaquín Alvear

A season-long look at somebody else’s player: Joaquín Alvear arrives from Union La Calera with something to prove and a return ticket in the drawer. Good loans make everybody richer; this one starts Saturday.

Market

Bryan Carvallo asks to leave Cobresal

“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.

Market

Cobresal turn down Universidad Catolica for Bryan Carvallo

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

Squad

Vicente Torres breaks a bone — 20 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 20 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Boardroom

Oliver Ramis has agreed to leave Cobresal for nothing

He will play here until the summer and then walk out of the door for free, having already signed elsewhere. Supporters will manage the first part of that sentence; it is the second they will struggle with.

Squad

Christian Moreno 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 Cobresal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Universidad Catolica expected to open talks for César Yanis

Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. Cobresal will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
