Squad7 Sep 2026

Jon Ortega damages knee ligaments — 23 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 23 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market7 Sep 2026

Stanko Jurić hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Valladolid can pretend not to have heard.

Market7 Sep 2026

Terms done: Mario Maroto is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Málaga waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Valladolid is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Deportivo La Coruña tell Valladolid: Luismi Cruz 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.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Deadline passes with 18 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Valladolid until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Valladolid training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Marrony is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The knee: Jon Ortega out for 32 days

32 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Valladolid lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Stipe Biuk runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 30. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market31 Aug 2026

Mario Maroto hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Valladolid can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Iñaki González

Valladolid asked and Las Palmas said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Market31 Aug 2026

Girona join the queue for Mario Maroto

Add another name to the list: Girona have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Mario Maroto. The answer from Valladolid has not changed — yet.

Match29 Aug 2026

Valladolid come up short against Andorra

Andorra left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Marrony falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Valladolid

12 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

Markel Serrano answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad24 Aug 2026

The knee: Jon Ortega out for 40 days

40 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Valladolid lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Market24 Aug 2026

Valladolid say no — this time

The offer from Lechia for Lucas Lavagnino 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.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Julien Ponceau's — 8.29

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.29, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Celta tell Valladolid: Ionuţ Radu 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Álvaro Odriozola is a medical away from Valladolid

The deal with Real Sociedad is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Iván Alejo was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 22. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market24 Aug 2026

Ruch join the queue for Thiago Ojeda

Add another name to the list: Ruch have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Thiago Ojeda. The answer from Valladolid has not changed — yet.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Valladolid

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

Match22 Aug 2026

Valladolid refuse to lose to Racing Santander

A point taken on 90 minutes is worth exactly one point and considerably more than that to a dressing room. This side does not stop, which is a reputation worth more than the result.
