Tempers go at AZAL

Rahid Sheydaev 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.

Eyes on Cavid Nazarov again

The phone has started ringing about Cavid Nazarov again, and this time the name on the line is Sumgayit. AZAL are listening politely and promising nothing.

A row about effort at AZAL

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

Emin Mammadov signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Emin Mammadov commits to AZAL for another 2 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

This league is too small for Vüqar Mustafayev

He is doing things on a Saturday afternoon that nobody around him can answer, which is flattering for about one season and a problem after that. AZAL will not keep him by pretending otherwise.

AZAL ask about Hacıağa Hacılı

A loan enquiry to Zira: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Ronaldo Vásquez stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Ronaldo Vásquez and Sumgayit agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Sumgayit bid $310.0K for Leroy-Jacques Mickels

The offer went to Zira 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.

Tempers go at Sumgayit

Ronaldo Vásquez 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.

Keffel wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Eyes on Xəyal Fərzullayev again

The phone has started ringing about Xəyal Fərzullayev again, and this time the name on the line is Kapaz. Sumgayit are listening politely and promising nothing.

Market3 Aug 2026

Sumgayit and Mehdi Cənnətov are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Market3 Aug 2026

49 months and counting on Aleksa Janković

Still no offer on the table, and Aleksa Janković’s deal keeps shrinking. In boardroom language, silence this long stops being an oversight and starts being an answer.

Sumgayit ask about Cavid Nazarov

A loan enquiry to AZAL: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Rachid Moumini 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.
