Marked for Leonardo Murillo

Market17 Aug 2026
Feyenoord pay $38.2M, 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.
Match12 Aug 2026
Jaguares ended it 0‑1. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.
Market17 Aug 2026
“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Fernando Borja had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.
Squad17 Aug 2026
Julian Perez 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
Both sides expect a conversation in the coming days. La Equidad will name a price, and everything after that is arithmetic.
The dugout17 Aug 2026
The manager makes an example of Daniel Moreno
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Words at La Equidad training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Brian Borja 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.
Squad17 Aug 2026
“The easiest signature of my career.” Edwin Uribe and La Equidad agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.
Match15 Aug 2026
1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Add another name to the list: Feyenoord have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Joaquín Molina. The answer from La Equidad has not changed — yet.
Market10 Aug 2026
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Squad10 Aug 2026
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Joaquín Molina and La Equidad agree another 5 years.
Market10 Aug 2026
It is not a grievance and it is not a demand: he wants to play continental football, and he has stopped hiding it. Whether La Equidad can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.
Squad10 Aug 2026
Joaquín Molina and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Squad10 Aug 2026
A row about effort at La Equidad
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mateo Gómez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Squad10 Aug 2026
23 days, the medical staff say, and medical staff are optimists by profession. The team sheet will look wrong without him.
The dugout10 Aug 2026
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Julian Muriel, and the manager let it.
Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Triumph
Squad3 Aug 2026
The match ball belongs to Joaquín Molina, whose 5 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.
Match1 Aug 2026
6‑0, and Joaquín Molina took the headlines on an afternoon when everything La Equidad tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.
Market3 Aug 2026
The offer from Girona for Sebastian Murillo 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.
Market3 Aug 2026
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at La Equidad heard it as anything else.
Market3 Aug 2026
The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.
Squad3 Aug 2026
Joaquín Molina 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.
Match1 Aug 2026
6 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about La Equidad and Millonarios in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

A row about effort at La Equidad
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mateo Gómez was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.
Market3 Aug 2026
The interest is real enough to have reached print. La Equidad have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.
