A knee injury of the worst kind for Antonio Rüdiger
133 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Tenerife lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Marc Mateu breaks a bone — 109 days out
Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 109 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Fee done, terms next for Álex Quevedo
Tenerife and Villarreal have settled on $1.7M. The rest belongs to the player and his agent, and a supporter who has watched one of these before knows not to buy the shirt yet.

Egoitz Arana is a Tenerife player
The fee is $2.8M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Real Sociedad drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Door shut on Boubacar Kamara
Tenerife asked and Barcelona said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Ignacio Solís steps up from the Tenerife academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ignacio Solís 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.
In brief
- Market Gabriel Caballero steps up from the Tenerife academy
- The dugout Marc Mateu has become a man the manager trusts
