Donatas Kuklys has said yes to Stumbras
The last thing about a transfer that is still about the player is his signature on his own terms, and it is there. Trakai have lost him in all but the paperwork.

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Danko Kiković is living that version at Trakai, and it tends to show in the first month.

Aleksander Iljin turns down Trakai
The clubs had agreed and the player had not. A snub, and a public one: Nomme Kalju keep him, and the supporters here are left wondering what he had heard about the place.

Atlantas watching Modestas Dapkus
The interest is real enough to have reached print. Trakai have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Rokas Satkus signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Rokas Satkus and Trakai agree another 4 years.

Talks stall between Trakai and Nikola Stojković
“We are a long way apart, and pretending otherwise helps nobody.” Neither side is close, and the calendar is not on the club's side.

Rokas Satkus knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Rokas Satkus trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
In brief
- The dugout Linas Cernych gets it from the manager
- Market Trakai pick up Nikola Stojković for nothing
