Famalicao pay Rio Ave $6.0M for a proper upgrade
Rio Ave did not want to sell and the number is why they did. $6.0M for Tamble Monteiro, and the expectation that arrives with him is the kind no amount of settling-in period softens.

Famalicao go back to the board over Oumar Camara

Famalicao bid $110.0K for Lucas Gabriel

Eyes on Renan again
The phone has started ringing about Renan again, and this time the name on the line is Caldas. Famalicao are listening politely and promising nothing.

One of our own: David Dias joins the Famalicao first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. David Dias is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
