Agner will join Nautico for nothing
The paperwork is done long before the player is. Agner has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Nautico have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Tempers go at Nautico
Lucão 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.

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

Nautico promote Pedro Porto from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Pedro Porto has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Beto steps up from the Nautico academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Beto 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.

Reginaldo Lopes has seen what the next man earns
Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room and never have. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and at Nautico that is a harder question to answer.

Muriel has started doing his badges
“I watch sessions differently now. I catch myself thinking about why we are doing the drill.” At 39 that is how nearly every man in a dugout started.
