Squad19 Jun 2028

Richie Laryea breaks a bone — 44 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 44 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market19 Jun 2028

Business is business: César Fonseca goes

Pachuca paid $8.4M and Veracruz took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

The terraces19 Jun 2028

A $8.4M sale, and a town that did not want it

César Fonseca has gone, the accounts have $8.4M in them, and the supporters have the feeling of having been sold something themselves. Good business and a good decision are not always the same thing.

Market19 Jun 2028

Israel Luna asks to leave Veracruz

“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.

Market19 Jun 2028

Veracruz turn down Chiapas for Cesar Marquez

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Boardroom19 Jun 2028

Veracruz go back to the board over Mateo González

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $460.7K — a club that wants Mateo González enough to be asked twice.

An offer of $320.0K for Diego Reyes

Veracruz have gone to Club America with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Market19 Jun 2028

Ángel Rico is a Veracruz player

The fee is $310.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Pumas UNAM drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad19 Jun 2028

Words exchanged at Veracruz

Carlos Harvey 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

122 days out for Jesús Corona after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Veracruz will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market16 Aug 2027

Kevin Escamilla 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 Veracruz can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

The paperwork begins on Jerónimo Pourtau

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Veracruz have done the hard part with Rosario Central, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Ramón Juárez will not be coming to Veracruz

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Club America is saying, and nobody at Veracruz is enjoying the guessing.

Match14 Aug 2027

The wait goes on for Veracruz

4 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Market16 Aug 2027

Eyes on Cesar Marquez again

The phone has started ringing about Cesar Marquez again, and this time the name on the line is Queretaro. Veracruz are listening politely and promising nothing.

Transfer targets16 Aug 2027

Tigres tell Veracruz: Nicolás Castro 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Jesus Romo 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.

Squad16 Aug 2027

Jorge Hernández in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Veracruz this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Fee done, terms next for Israel Luna

Veracruz and Pumas UNAM have settled on $390.0K. 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.

Market19 Jul 2027

Veracruz sign Carlos Higuera for $470.0K

The paperwork is done: Carlos Higuera joins from Chiapas in a deal worth $470.0K. Now comes the harder part.

Market19 Jul 2027

Pablo Ortíz is a Veracruz player

The fee is $470.0K, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Tijuana drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad19 Jul 2027

A falling-out at Veracruz

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

Transfer targets19 Jul 2027

Tigres tell Veracruz: Nicolás Castro 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.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Michael Pérez out for 57 days

The medical room confirms 57 days on the sidelines for Michael Pérez, and a plan built around him now has to be rebuilt.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Words at Veracruz training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Francisco Vazquez is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad19 Jul 2027

Ramón Pasquel signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ramón Pasquel and Veracruz agree another 3 years.
