Business is business: Ľubomír Tupta goes

Gabala paid $1.2M and Neftchi took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Squad14 Jun 2027

Real improvement from Onuralp Çevikkan at Neftchi

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Onuralp Çevikkan is 21, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad14 Jun 2027

A falling-out at Neftchi

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

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

Neftchi rebuffed over Egor Bogomolskiy

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

Market14 Jun 2027

Afran Dadashov steps up from the Neftchi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Afran Dadashov 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.

One of our own: Orkhan Nadirov joins the Neftchi first team

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

Neftchi count the cost of losing Samir Nazarov

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

Transfer targets14 Jun 2027

A loan move for Max Dean is in the works

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

Market14 Jun 2027

No place for Igor Ribeiro in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Igor Ribeiro has his answer from Neftchi; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

A falling-out at Neftchi

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

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Samir Nazarov 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.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

When it matters, Freddy Vargas plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market12 Apr 2027

The Denzel Jubitana question follows Neftchi around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Denzel Jubitana’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Ağadadaş Salyanskiy knocks on the manager's door

“It had gone on long enough. I would rather have it out than leave it sitting there.” Ten minutes behind a closed door at Neftchi, and both men came out saying it was fine.

The dugout12 Apr 2027

Emil Səfərov has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Emil Səfərov has written the date down.
