Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Enzo Siri will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Danubio the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Enzo Siri signs for Montevideo City Torque while still at Danubio
The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Enzo Siri has agreed terms with Montevideo City Torque for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

One of our own: Jorge Da Silva joins the Danubio first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jorge Da Silva is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Carlos Perez was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Danubio dressing room was either.
In brief
