Match27 Jun 2029

Danubio bow out of the cup

Central Espanol go through and Danubio go home, 4‑5 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Match27 Jun 2029

Danubio let it slip despite Manuel Silva

Manuel Silva had done his part in building a 3-goal cushion. What happened after that was collective, and Central Espanol were allowed back into a match that had been finished with.

Player ratings2 Jul 2029

Manuel Silva scores twice — 8.21

Two goals and a mark of 8.21 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets2 Jul 2029

Fee done, terms next for Federico Bonilla

Danubio and Nacional have settled on $43.0K. 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.

Market2 Jul 2029

Santiago Cappi asks to leave Danubio

“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.

Match30 Jun 2029

At last: Danubio win one

9 matches without a win, and then this, against Progreso. Relief is a strange noise in a football ground and it was the only noise at the end.

The dugout2 Jul 2029

Juan Cruz Álvarez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Danubio may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Transfer targets2 Jul 2029

No thanks: Luciano Ferreyra rejects the move

Danubio had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Vélez, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Squad2 Jul 2029

Emiliano Velázquez signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Emiliano Velázquez and Danubio agree another 2 years.

From our football correspondent Crisis

The dugout14 Feb 2028

Sebastián Rodríguez says Danubio went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Match12 Feb 2028

4 matches without a win for Danubio

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Danubio are no longer polite ones.

Squad14 Feb 2028

A falling-out at Danubio

Hugo Silveira and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Market14 Feb 2028

As if he never left: Facundo González returns

Some transfers need a press campaign. This one needed a shirt with the old number on it. Facundo González is a Danubio player again, and the town has its story of the summer.

Market14 Feb 2028

Diego Píriz’s move to Cerro falls through

The deal that would have taken Diego Píriz to Cerro has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Danubio with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Boardroom14 Feb 2028

5 academy graduates step up at Danubio

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Transfer targets14 Feb 2028

Gimnasia La Plata tell Danubio: Franco Torres is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match12 Feb 2028

A bad afternoon for Danubio against Boston River

1‑2 to Boston River, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market14 Feb 2028

Manuel Silva steps up from the Danubio academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Manuel Silva 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
