Supporters turn on the $1.1M sale of Milán Klausz
He is going to Ujpest, the club has $1.1M it did not have on Friday, and the phone-ins have already decided how they feel about that. Selling well and selling somebody they loved are not the same skill.

Bence Gundel-Takács hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what MTK Budapest can pretend not to have heard.

Milán Klausz moves on
Ujpest pay $1.1M, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

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

Tiszakécske tell MTK Budapest: Tamás Géringer 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.

Words exchanged at MTK Budapest
Kevin Körmendi 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.

Imre Antal Széles frozen out at MTK Budapest
This is not rotation. Imre Antal Széles has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at MTK Budapest is pretending otherwise.

The manager makes an example of Róbert Polievka
“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
In brief
- Squad MTK Budapest lose Mate Lang
