Santiago Noreña is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Envigado is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

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

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Miguel Marulanda knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Envigado, and both men came out saying it was fine.
