A knee injury of the worst kind for Braian Lluy

66 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Valledupar lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad3 Jan 2028

A fracture rules Victor Mejia out for 23 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason Valledupar will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Business is business: Cristian Lopez goes

Atletico Bucaramanga paid $2.3M and Valledupar took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad3 Jan 2028

A falling-out at Valledupar

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

Squad3 Jan 2028

Hugo Rios signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Hugo Rios and Valledupar agree another 1 years.

The dugout3 Jan 2028

Duvier Díaz is still being punished for one mistake

Nobody will confirm it and the team sheets confirm it every week. One error has bought him a spell as second choice that is already longer than the error deserved.

Miguel Mejia knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Miguel Mejia trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market3 Jan 2028

Felipe Mejia leaves for nothing

Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Felipe Mejia leaves Valledupar the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

From our football correspondent Crisis

Squad13 Dec 2027

The knee: Braian Lluy out for 87 days

87 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Valledupar lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Victor Mejia breaks a bone — 45 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 45 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match13 Dec 2027

Every point is an argument now for Valledupar

Position 12 and 5 points, and the table gets read bottom-up in this part of town. The calendar has stopped being a schedule and started being a countdown.

Market13 Dec 2027

Cristian Lopez has said yes to Atletico Bucaramanga

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

Market13 Dec 2027

Vinícius Silva 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 Valledupar can pretend not to have heard.

Market13 Dec 2027

Duvan Rios 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 Valledupar can give him that is a question about the club, not about him.

Market13 Dec 2027

Valledupar get their man

The chase for Duvan Castillo ended with $76.0K changing hands and Cortulua out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad13 Dec 2027

Words exchanged at Valledupar

Carlos Ibargüen 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 targets13 Dec 2027

Deportivo Cali tell Valledupar: Juan Felipe Morales 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.
