Transfer targets

Rayo Vallecano tell Andorra: Alemão 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.

Transfer targets

Andorra baulk at the price for Miguel De la Fuente

Almería wanted more than $3.9M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Transfer targets

Andorra bid $660.0K for Ramón Enríquez

The offer went to Málaga 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

Pau López signs on for more

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

Squad

Aingeru Olabarrieta 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 Andorra this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

One of our own: Jorge Gómez joins the Andorra first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jorge Gómez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Andorra promote Álvaro López from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Álvaro López has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market

Nicolás Aguilar steps up from the Andorra academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Nicolás Aguilar has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market

Andorra promote Fernando Méndez from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Fernando Méndez has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Squad

Thomas Carrique signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Thomas Carrique commits to Andorra for another 4 years.

Squad

Tempers go at Andorra

Aingeru Olabarrieta 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.

Transfer targets

Juventus tell Andorra: Arkadiusz Milik 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.

Market

The clock runs on Thomas Carrique's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

Squad

9 new faces, and Andorra 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

Pau López asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
