Match26 Aug 2026

Narva Trans bow out of the cup

Levadia go through and Narva Trans go home, 0‑1 the scoreline that did it. The dressing room will call the league the priority now, because that is what dressing rooms say.

Market31 Aug 2026

Denis Poliakov asks to leave Narva Trans

“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.

Transfer targets31 Aug 2026

Door shut on Kristofer Käit

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

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Murad Velijev runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 20. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Mark Maksimkin in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Narva Trans this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Artem Makavchik

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Artem Makavchik, and the manager let it.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Narva Trans training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Eriks Santos 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 dugout31 Aug 2026

Markus Sappinen: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑1, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Martin Klavan signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Martin Klavan and Narva Trans agree another 3 years.

Market17 Aug 2026

Terms done: Valeri Shantenkov is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Parnu waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Narva Trans is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

No thanks: Mattias Männilaan rejects the move

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

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Narva Trans bid $29.0K for Alex Boronilštšikov

The offer went to Nomme Kalju 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.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Narva Trans rebuffed over Martin Dmitrijev

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Sillamae Kalev have kept their man, and Narva Trans go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Narva Trans

Mark Maksimkin 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Denis Poliakov is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Narva Trans has been clear about where Denis Poliakov stands, which is more than many ever get.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Narva Trans

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Parnu watching Valeri Shantenkov

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Narva Trans have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Market10 Aug 2026

Narva Trans promote Karl Pikk from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Karl Pikk has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Markus Dmitrijev joins the Narva Trans first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Markus Dmitrijev is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Narva Trans

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