Boardroom29 Nov 2027

Pressure builds in the Alvarado boardroom

The directors have stopped offering the manager public warmth. In football that is usually the stage before the short statement.

Market29 Nov 2027

Only the photograph left for Bautista Casas Medina

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Bautista Casas Medina will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Alvarado the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Squad29 Nov 2027

A row about effort at Alvarado

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Cristian Gorgerino was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad29 Nov 2027

Words exchanged at Alvarado

Ramiro Makarte and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Boardroom29 Nov 2027

Wages eat 156% of everything Alvarado earn

There is a figure at which a wage bill stops being ambitious and becomes the reason nothing else is possible, and this club has reached it. Nothing is left over for a transfer, a stand or a rainy afternoon.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

The manager makes an example of Lautaro Fernández

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Market29 Nov 2027

The Lucas Monzón talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Alvarado know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

The dugout29 Nov 2027

Franco Pinoni 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 Alvarado, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Market29 Nov 2027

Alvarado put Facundo Centurión up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Facundo Centurión may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market7 Dec 2026

Agustín Zapata asks to leave Alvarado

“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.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

The paperwork begins on Brian Andrada

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Alvarado have done the hard part with Gimnasia y Esgrima, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Tempers go at Alvarado

Matías Mansilla 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.

Squad7 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Alvarado

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Lucas Chiozza was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Market7 Dec 2026

Valentino Álvarez steps up from the Alvarado academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Valentino Álvarez 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.

Market7 Dec 2026

One of our own: Cristian Moreno joins the Alvarado first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Cristian Moreno is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

A loan move for Brian Aguilar is in the works

Alvarado have made the call to Tristán Suárez. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Tomás Federico is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Tomás Federico has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Market7 Dec 2026

Nahuel Speck is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Alvarado has been clear about where Nahuel Speck stands, which is more than many ever get.
