Market24 Aug 2026
Idar Shumakhov asks to leave Dinamo Makhachkala
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Transfer targets24 Aug 2026
Door shut on Konstantin Nizhegorodov
Dinamo Makhachkala asked and Rubin said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.
Boardroom24 Aug 2026
Dinamo Makhachkala go back to the board over Ruslan Kul'
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $1.1M — a club that wants Ruslan Kul' enough to be asked twice.

Words exchanged at Dinamo Makhachkala
Mohammad Javad Hosseinnejad 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 targets24 Aug 2026
Dinamo Makhachkala bid $65.0K for Eyad El Askalany
The offer went to Rostov 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.
Match22 Aug 2026
CSKA Moscow take the points off Dinamo Makhachkala
Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
The dugout24 Aug 2026

Player ratings24 Aug 2026
Daniil Lesovoy runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 16. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.
The dugout24 Aug 2026
Nazar Lapin: “No excuses”
“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
