Londrina bid $2.4M for Vinícius Mingotti
The offer went to Tombense 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.
Boardroom20 Dec 2027
Londrina go back to the board over Vinícius Mingotti
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $2.6M — a club that wants Vinícius Mingotti enough to be asked twice.

Words exchanged at Londrina
Kauã Moraes and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

At 21, Kauã Moraes is already the best thing here
An average of 7.05 in a first team he is several years too young for. Londrina have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Londrina count the cost of losing André Luiz
56 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Londrina rebuffed over Luan
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. CRB have kept their man, and Londrina go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Market20 Dec 2027
Pedro Lima steps up from the Londrina academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Pedro Lima 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.

Londrina promote Willian Oliveira from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Willian Oliveira has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
In brief
