Market

Joseph Zerafa asks to leave Balzan

“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.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Segun Olurontoba

Balzan asked and Rangers International said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Looking ahead

A reunion for Clive Gauci

He used to wear the other shirt. On Saturday he plays against Mgarr United in this one, and whatever he says this week about it being just another game will be untrue.

Squad

A falling-out at Balzan

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

Transfer targets

Balzan rebuffed over Léo Fernandes

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Mosta have kept their man, and Balzan go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Balzan count the cost of losing Dominic Pisani

30 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Squad

Oluwatobiloba Dimeji Awosanya signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Oluwatobiloba Dimeji Awosanya commits to Balzan for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Balzan

Luis Gabriel 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.

Market

Still no ink between Balzan and Michael

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Balzan, another week without a signature from Michael.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Matteo Lorenzi is in the works

Balzan have made the call to Sliema Wanderers. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Squad

Balzan are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Market

Joseph Zerafa is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Balzan has been clear about where Joseph Zerafa stands, which is more than many ever get.
