The paperwork begins on Igoh Ogbu

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Dinamo Moscow have done the hard part with Slavia Prague, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Danil Glebov asks to leave Dinamo Moscow

“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.

Both of them Ivan Sergeev's — 8.68

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.68, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Bodo/Glimt tell Dinamo Moscow: Fredrik Sjøvold 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.

Dinamo Moscow sell Alexandr Kutitskiy for $3.4M

Alexandr Kutitskiy has left for Zenit in a $3.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Gonzalo Plata beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 23. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Eyes on Ulvi Babaev again

The phone has started ringing about Ulvi Babaev again, and this time the name on the line is Minsk. Dinamo Moscow are listening politely and promising nothing.

Ivan Sergeev the difference as Dinamo Moscow beat Krylya Sovetov

Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Ivan Sergeev. 2‑0 against Krylya Sovetov, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.

5 Dinamo Moscow players away with their countries

The training ground goes quiet for a fortnight. 5 men have gone off to be somebody else’s players, and the manager is left with the ones nobody has called.

Market17 Aug 2026

Zenit come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Dinamo Moscow did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

An offer of $10.4M for Alexandr Siljanov

Dinamo Moscow have gone to Lokomotiv Moscow with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Zenit tell Dinamo Moscow: Maxim Glushenkov 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.

Ulvi Babaev says no to Taraz

“I listened, I thought about it, and I am staying. That is the whole story.” The clubs had agreed a fee. Ulvi Babaev had not agreed to go, which turned out to be the part that mattered.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Moscow go back to the board over Alexandr Siljanov

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $11.3M — a club that wants Alexandr Siljanov enough to be asked twice.

A row about effort at Dinamo Moscow

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

Words exchanged at Dinamo Moscow

Nicolás Marichal 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

Dinamo Moscow see off Rostov

Three points for Dinamo Moscow, 1‑0 the final word against Rostov in a contest settled by the finer margins.

A masterclass from Anton Miranchuk

Marked 8.23 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.
