Gil Vicente make their move for Nehuén Pérez
$13.0M on the table at Porto. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Gil Vicente bid $3.5M for Oumar Camara
The offer went to Vitoria Guimaraes 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.

Santa Clara come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Gil Vicente did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Gil Vicente go back to the board over Nehuén Pérez
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $14.0M — a club that wants Nehuén Pérez enough to be asked twice.

Santi García signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Santi García and Gil Vicente agree another 4 years.

Door shut on Prosper Peter
Gil Vicente asked and Angers SCO said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Eyes on Mohamed Bamba again
The phone has started ringing about Mohamed Bamba again, and this time the name on the line is Sporting CP. Gil Vicente are listening politely and promising nothing.

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