“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.

Mauro Estol in a row with a teammate

Talks stall between Tacuarembo and Ian López
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

The manager makes Manuel Núñez a promise
Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Tacuarembo. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.
