Market

Pablo Bennevendo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Pumas UNAM, and it is not being withdrawn.

Market

Pumas UNAM turn down Gimnàstic for Guillermo Martínez

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

Boardroom

Window shuts: 15 in, 4 out at Pumas UNAM

The deadline has passed and the squad is the squad. 15 arrived, 4 left, and everything else printed about this club last month was a rumour that stayed one.

Transfer targets

Atlas tell Pumas UNAM: Edgar Zaldívar 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at Pumas UNAM

Juan Dinenno 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.

Transfer targets

No deal for Raul Castillo at that price

Pumas UNAM offered $150.0K; Puebla said it was not close. The manager will be told the money is still there for the right player, which is what managers are told.

Squad

Pedro Vite signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Pedro Vite commits to Pumas UNAM for another 4 years.

Squad

Sebastián Córdova 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

Robert Morales gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Market

Santiago López has said yes to Veracruz

The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Pumas UNAM have lost him in all but the paperwork.

Market

Pablo Monroy 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 Pumas UNAM can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets

Atlas tell Pumas UNAM: Jorge Rodríguez 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.

Boardroom

Pumas UNAM go back to the board over Raul Castillo

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $147.9K — a club that wants Raul Castillo enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Pumas UNAM bid $150.0K for Raul Castillo

The offer went to Puebla 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.

Squad

A row about effort at Pumas UNAM

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Ralph Orquin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Squad

Héctor Ramírez 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 Pumas UNAM this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

8 new faces, and Pumas UNAM are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Jesus Marquez was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Pumas UNAM dressing room was either.

In brief
