Transfer targets

$11.1M settles it between the clubs for Marvin Keller

Young Boys have accepted the money. What Malmo FF do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Market

Daníel Guðjohnsen turns AC Oulu down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market

Malmo FF spend $2.2M to raise the standard

This is not cover and nobody is pretending it is. $2.2M has been paid because Dani Raba is straightforwardly better than what was already here, and the club has decided to stop waiting.

Market

HJK come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Malmo FF did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Boardroom

Malmo FF go back to the board over Andreas Linde

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $113.4K — a club that wants Andreas Linde enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Malmo FF make their move for Andreas Linde

$100.0K on the table at BK Hacken. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

Gabriel Busanello signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Gabriel Busanello and Malmo FF agree another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Malmo FF

Pontus Jansson 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

Örgryte watching Adrian Skogmar

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Malmo FF have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Transfer targets

$27.2M settles it between the clubs for Samu Aghehowa

Porto have accepted the money. What Valencia do not yet have is the man, and between here and the photograph is a conversation about wages that both sides are dreading.

Transfer targets

Door shut on Unai Simón

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

Market

Levante come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Valencia did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

Valencia baulk at the price for David Alaba

Real Madrid wanted more than $3.8M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market

Valencia plan ahead with Ignacio Lago from Colón

The most awkward business a club does is signing tomorrow's answer while today's is still in the building. Ignacio Lago comes from Colón for exactly that purpose, and the handover will not be discussed publicly by anybody.

Market

Valencia sell Dani Raba for $2.2M

Dani Raba has left for Malmo FF in a $2.2M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad

Arnaut Danjuma stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Arnaut Danjuma and Valencia agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

A move Ignacio Lago would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Ignacio Lago is living that version at Valencia, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad

Pablo Maffeo 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 Valencia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings

Sead Hakšabanović scores twice — 8.74

Two goals and a mark of 8.74 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Transfer targets

Malmo FF rebuffed over Alexander Bernhardsson

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

Transfer targets

Malmo FF bid $8.5M for Marvin Keller

The offer went to Young Boys 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.

Market

Aalborg come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Malmo FF did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Transfer targets

An offer of $2.2M for Dani Raba

Malmo FF have gone to Valencia 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.

Squad

A career in one shirt: Anders Christiansen

10 seasons and 349 appearances, all of them here. Careers like this are not designed; they happen to a certain kind of man at a certain kind of club, and this town has one.

Market

Aalesund join the queue for Warren Kamanzi

Add another name to the list: Aalesund have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Warren Kamanzi. The answer from Malmo FF has not changed — yet.

Squad

Mayckel Lahdo signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Mayckel Lahdo and Malmo FF agree another 4 years.

Squad

Pontus Jansson 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 Malmo FF this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets

An offer of $20.4M for Samu Aghehowa

Valencia have gone to Porto 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.

Transfer targets

Valencia make their move for Ignacio Lago

$7.6M on the table at Colón. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Squad

14 seasons of José Gayà

409 appearances across 14 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and Valencia know what they have.

Transfer targets

An offer of $3.4M for David Alaba

Valencia have gone to Real Madrid 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.

Market

Valencia turn down Guadalajara for José Gayà

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

Squad

Stole Dimitrievski stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Stole Dimitrievski and Valencia agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad

Tempers go at Valencia

Pablo Maffeo 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

Eyes on Dani Raba again

The phone has started ringing about Dani Raba again, and this time the name on the line is Kaiserslautern. Valencia are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market

Talks stall between Valencia and Stole Dimitrievski

“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.
