The União Gazette

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

A fracture rules João Vitor out for 65 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason União will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.
Market20 Dec 2027
Tadeu asks to leave União
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Market20 Dec 2027
Floresta come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and União did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Douglas Lukaku signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Douglas Lukaku commits to União for another 3 years.
Transfer targets20 Dec 2027
União bid $14.0K for Paulo Sérgio
The offer went to Náutico this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.
Transfer targets20 Dec 2027
An offer of $10.0K for Renato Palm
União have gone to Novorizontino with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Tempers go at União
Jardisson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.
Transfer targets20 Dec 2027
União rebuffed over Joaquim Horn
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Juventude have kept their man, and União go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
