Market7 Dec 2026

Terms done: Sebastián González is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Atlético El Vigía waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Caracas is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market7 Dec 2026

Caracas turn down Bolívar for Francisco La Mantia

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

Boardroom7 Dec 2026

Caracas go back to the board over Fabián Chaverra

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $100.0K — a club that wants Fabián Chaverra enough to be asked twice.

Boardroom7 Dec 2026

Francisco La Mantia signs for Deportivo Tachira while still at Caracas

The rules permit it and it stings anyway. Francisco La Mantia has agreed terms with Deportivo Tachira for the summer, and until then he pulls on this shirt as a player who has already chosen his next one.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Caracas bid $190.0K for Enmanuel Moreno

The offer went to Marítimo de La Guaira 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.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Caracas bid $87.0K for Fabián Chaverra

The offer went to Trujillanos 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.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Caracas bid $52.0K for Alberson Rodríguez

The offer went to Monagas 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.

Squad7 Dec 2026

Michael Silva signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Michael Silva and Caracas agree another 1 years.

Transfer targets7 Dec 2026

Marítimo de La Guaira tell Caracas: Enmanuel Moreno 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.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Tempers go at Caracas

Luis Del Pino Mago 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.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

No hiding place for Frankarlos Benítez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Frankarlos Benítez, and the manager let it.

The dugout30 Nov 2026

When it matters, Mauricio Márquez plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

61 days out for Erickson Lira after a fracture

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

Squad12 Oct 2026

The step up is real for Frankarlos Benítez

At 22 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Caracas

Luis Del Pino Mago 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.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

No hiding place for Frankarlos Benítez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Frankarlos Benítez, and the manager let it.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Kevin Salazar has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Caracas 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.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Michael Silva is a square peg at Caracas

The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
