Geindry Cuervo asks to leave Envigado
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

The run is over for Envigado
13 matches without defeat, and then Atletico Nacional. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Johan Diaz steps up from the Envigado academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Johan Diaz has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Sergio Castillo steps up from the Envigado academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Sergio Castillo has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
