From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Jesús Rivas hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Tijuana can pretend not to have heard.

Market

Christian Castillo has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Tijuana they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad

Tempers go at Tijuana

Frank Boya was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad

Abraham Flores falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

The dugout

Jackson Porozo knocks on the manager’s door

“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Jackson Porozo trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.

Market

The clock does José Antonio Rodríguez’s negotiating for him

2 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Tijuana could ask drops and the wages José Antonio Rodríguez can ask rise.

Market

The Jackson Porozo talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Tijuana know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Squad

Alberto Ocejo has company in his position

The competition arrived without a word said to him about it. Alberto Ocejo keeps the shirt for now, at Tijuana's convenience rather than his own.

Loan watch

Decision time nears on José Castro

The agreement at Monterrey has 7 days left in it, with 0 appearances to weigh. Three doors: keep him, sell him, lend him again — and none of them stays open long.

In brief
