Market31 Aug 2026

Ozziel Herrera 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 Tigres can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Diego Lainez beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 30. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Oswaldo Virgen

Tigres asked and Toluca said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market31 Aug 2026

Tigres sign Paulo Ramírez for $660.0K

The paperwork is done: Paulo Ramírez joins from Atlas in a deal worth $660.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Tigres

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

Match29 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Aguirre the difference as Tigres beat Dorados

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Rodrigo Aguirre. 2‑0 against Dorados, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Aguirre in the eights

A performance of 8.11 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

A defender's afternoon for Alan Franco

Defensive actions: 17. He was first to everything and second to nothing, and the goalkeeper had an easy day because of it.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Jorge Berlanga gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Tigres sell a favourite for $5.3M

The accountants will call it good business and they will be right, which is not the point anybody outside the boardroom is making. Juan Brunetta was one of the reasons people came, and $5.3M does not replace that by itself.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tigres sell Juan Brunetta for $5.3M

Juan Brunetta has left for Cádiz in a $5.3M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Guadalajara tell Tigres: Richard Ledezma 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.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Too dear: Tigres walk away from Mateo García

$2.6M was the most the club would pay and Atlas were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tigres sign Jorge Berlanga for $940.0K

The paperwork is done: Jorge Berlanga joins from Pachuca in a deal worth $940.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Tigres go back to the board over Mateo García

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $2.8M — a club that wants Mateo García enough to be asked twice.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A move Ivan Lainez would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ivan Lainez is living that version at Tigres, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tigres

Nahuel Guzmán 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tigres plan ahead with Ivan Lainez from Veracruz

The most awkward business a club does is signing tomorrow's answer while today's is still in the building. Ivan Lainez comes from Veracruz for exactly that purpose, and the handover will not be discussed publicly by anybody.

Market10 Aug 2026

Juan Brunetta agrees terms with Cádiz

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

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Fee done, terms next for Jorge Berlanga

Tigres and Pachuca have settled on $940.0K. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

An offer of $1.9M for Ivan Lainez

Tigres have gone to Veracruz with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market10 Aug 2026

Tigres turn down Chiapas for Rafael Guerrero

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

Door shut on Mateo García

Tigres asked and Atlas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Tigres go back to the board over Jaziel Martínez

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $371.2K — a club that wants Jaziel Martínez enough to be asked twice.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Jesús Angulo signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Jesús Angulo commits to Tigres for another 4 years.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Tigres

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Tigres may not be able to give Rodrigo Aguirre what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Rodrigo Aguirre wants continental football; whether Tigres can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

In brief
