Market

Terms done: Leonardo González is going

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

Squad

Enzo Trinidad 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 Colegiales this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

Colegiales rebuffed over Iván Paniagua

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Los Andes have kept their man, and Colegiales go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Market

Colegiales buy the years ahead of Peter Alaba

He is 19, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

The dugout

Emilio Di Fulvio has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Colegiales will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout

Thiago Capomaggio asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad

No place for Peter Alaba in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Colegiales are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Market

The Valentín Quevedo question follows Colegiales around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Valentín Quevedo’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout

Colegiales keep their word to Peter Alaba

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

In brief
