The dugout12 Oct 2026

Derlis Gonzalez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Olimpia may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market12 Oct 2026

Julián Balbuena has one foot out of the door

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

A falling-out at Olimpia

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

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Derlis Gonzalez gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Derlis Gonzalez is on it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

A row about effort at Olimpia

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

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Sebastián Ferreira knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Olimpia, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

The manager makes Braian Romero a promise

Nothing in writing and nothing in public: a word about playing time, given face to face at Olimpia. The team sheets over the next month will show whether it was worth having.

Market12 Oct 2026

The clock does Juan Ángel Vera’s negotiating for him

3 months left, and both sides know what that means: every week without a signature, the fee Olimpia could ask drops and the wages Juan Ángel Vera can ask rise.

Market12 Oct 2026

Olimpia put Rodrigo Frutos up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Rodrigo Frutos may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Market7 Sep 2026

Derlis Gonzalez 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 Olimpia can pretend not to have heard.

Market7 Sep 2026

Derlis Aguilera has one foot out of the door

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

Squad7 Sep 2026

Richard Ortiz 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 Olimpia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout7 Sep 2026

Braian Romero 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words at Olimpia training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Iván Leguizamón 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.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Alan Rodríguez is no longer first choice

The manager has re-ordered his thinking and Alan Rodríguez has come out of it lower. He will be told it is temporary, and the players who have heard that before will avoid his eye.

Squad7 Sep 2026

18 new faces, and Olimpia 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 dugout7 Sep 2026

Juan Romero has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Olimpia will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Market7 Sep 2026

No place for Julián Balbuena in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Julián Balbuena has his answer from Olimpia; what he does with it is the next window’s story.
