Too dear: Lusitânia Lourosa walk away from Francisco Moura

$13.6M was the most the club would pay and Porto were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Lusitânia Lourosa agree $2.4M for Thiago Balieiro

The clubs have shaken hands with Vitoria Guimaraes; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Silvério Júnio puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Lusitânia Lourosa, and it is not being withdrawn.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Rodrigo Martins runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 24. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Diogo Monteiro

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

Squad24 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Lusitânia Lourosa

Diogo Pinto and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Edimar pulls a muscle — 19 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 19 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

Match22 Aug 2026

Lusitânia Lourosa hit back inside 3 minutes

Porto B held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. Lusitânia Lourosa answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Miguel Teixeira

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Miguel Teixeira, and the manager let it.

Lusitânia Lourosa baulk at the price for Lazar Carević

Famalicao wanted more than $3.2M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Vitor Hugo stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Vitor Hugo and Lusitânia Lourosa agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Diogo Pinto 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 Lusitânia Lourosa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Words at Lusitânia Lourosa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Dylan Collard 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.

Lusitânia Lourosa rebuffed over Zinho

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

Carlos Pacheco steps up from the Lusitânia Lourosa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Carlos Pacheco 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.

Paulo Moreira steps up from the Lusitânia Lourosa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Paulo Moreira 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.

One of our own: Marco Cunha joins the Lusitânia Lourosa first team

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