Isaque due for a Vitebsk medical
Everything agreed with Shakhtar, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Vladislav Pulkach has agreed to leave Vitebsk for nothing

Player ratings10 Aug 2026
Yevhen Protasov scored one and made one — 7.99

Ivan Shikavka steps up from the Vitebsk academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ivan Shikavka has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
