Marked for Danil Kovalev

Market7 Sep 2026

Alexey Chaplygin asks to leave Kvant

“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.

Market7 Sep 2026

Danil Kovalev agrees terms with Kosmos

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Kvant people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Match5 Sep 2026

6 matches without a win for Kvant

The run now stands at 6, and the questions being asked around Kvant are no longer polite ones.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Ruslan Milyukov, 15, plays like he has been here for years — 7.97

A mark of 7.97 means one thing beside a twenty-nine-year-old's name and something else entirely beside a 15-year-old's. Nobody at the ground needed telling which this was.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Kvant agree $4.0K for Yegor Trifonov

The clubs have shaken hands with Amkar; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Kvant count the cost of losing Vitaly Yakovlev

38 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Transfer targets7 Sep 2026

Door shut on David Bolataev

Kvant asked and Dinamo Vladivostok said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Alexey Chaplygin falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Words exchanged at Kvant

Victor Drăgoi 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Vitaly Yakovlev

There were 12 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Maxim Timchenko puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Kvant, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match29 Aug 2026

The wait goes on for Kvant

5 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

The paperwork begins on Kirill Roschin

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

Market31 Aug 2026

Only the photograph left for Danil Kovalev

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Danil Kovalev will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Kvant the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Chaika tell Kvant: Ivan Sorochinskiy 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Kvant

Victor Drăgoi and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Match29 Aug 2026

Kvant come up short against Zenit Penza

Zenit Penza left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Miroslav Guryev left the room before anybody could ask which.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad17 Aug 2026

8 saves: Vitaly Yakovlev was the team

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 8 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Market17 Aug 2026

Danil Kovalev agrees terms with Chertanovo

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Kvant people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

No thanks: Kirill Roschin rejects the move

Kvant had done everything except persuade the man himself. He stays at Murom, and the manager goes back to the drawing board with the money still in the bank.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Shinnik tell Kvant: Pavel Kuznetsov 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Kvant

Vitaly Yakovlev 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words at Kvant training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexey Chaplygin is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

Nikita Baranov gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Kvant

8 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

A loan move for Ilja Korotkikh is in the works

Kvant have made the call to Dinamo Vladivostok. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.
