Nahuel Banegas asks to leave Tigre
“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 dugout12 Jul 2027
Santiago González says Tigre went back on their word
“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Tigre say no — this time
The offer from O'Higgins for Santiago González was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.
Match12 Jul 2027
Tigre up to position 3
26 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Mauro Méndez in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Tigre this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom12 Jul 2027
Tigre agree a free transfer for Mirko Bruno
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

Athletic Bilbao tell Tigre: Manex Lozano 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.

Tigre promote Enzo Paz from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Enzo Paz 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.

Rulo steps up from the Tigre academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Rulo 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.
