Transfer targets

Guadalajara agree $7.3M for Renato Tapia

The clubs have shaken hands with Al Wasl; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Market

Guadalajara pay Slavia Prague $10.5M for a proper upgrade

Slavia Prague did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $10.5M for Igoh Ogbu, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Transfer targets

Daniel Rodriguez due for a Guadalajara medical

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

Player ratings

Richard Ledezma runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 25. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Atlas come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Guadalajara did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Atlas tell Guadalajara: Manuel Capasso 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

Luis Romo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Luis Romo and Guadalajara agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Richard Ledezma 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 Guadalajara this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The terraces

The town asked, and Guadalajara paid $10.5M

Igoh Ogbu was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $10.5M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Market

Daniel Rodriguez has said yes to Guadalajara

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Veracruz have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Match

Hugo Arteaga leads the rout of Dorados

3‑0, and Hugo Arteaga took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Veracruz tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market

Jorge Dos Santos moves on

Sporting CP pay $26.2M, 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.

Market

Veracruz say no — this time

The offer from Cruz Azul for Victor Corona 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.

Market

Eduardo Ramirez says no to St. Pauli

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Eduardo Ramirez had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Player ratings

Both of them Hugo Arteaga's — 8.39

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.39, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Squad

Hugo Arteaga stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Hugo Arteaga and Veracruz agree another 5 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Hugo Arteaga 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 Veracruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Victor Corona 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.
