Transfer targets18 Dec 2034
$42.0K settles it between the clubs for Juan Martín Bianchi
Gimnasia La Plata have accepted the money. What Maipú do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Maipú rebuffed over Branco Salinardi
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. San Lorenzo have kept their man, and Maipú go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Mateo Ortale gets picked when it counts
Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Mateo Ortale is on it.

The Nahuel Galardi talk will not go away
Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Maipú know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

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

Matías Cohen knocks on the manager's door
“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Maipú, and both men came out saying it was fine.

Maipú have made Raúl Bruno available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

Benicio Ramírez leaves for nothing
Contract settled, hands shaken, no fee changing hands. Benicio Ramírez leaves Maipú the quiet way, and the wage bill breathes a little easier.

Maipú keep producing them
81 graduates from an academy now rated 4 out of 20. A club this size does not survive any other way, and every name on that list is known in the town.
In brief
- Squad Agustín Silva is not doing himself any favours
- Squad Andrés Ponce is out on the grass again
