Market24 Aug 2026

Terms done: Eldar Guseinov is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Shakhter Donetsk waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Krasnodar is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Market24 Aug 2026

Nikita Krivtsov 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 Krasnodar can pretend not to have heard.

Market24 Aug 2026

Krasnodar turn down Radnicki Nis for Kevin Pina

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words at Krasnodar training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Batxi 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.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Pumas UNAM tell Krasnodar: Juninho 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Nikita Krivtsov stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Nikita Krivtsov and Krasnodar agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Match22 Aug 2026

Krasnodar caught on 87 minutes

The board was up, the win was priced in, and then Orenburg scored. There is no worse minute to concede in and the ground emptied in the silence that follows one.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Batxi is still paying for one afternoon at Krasnodar

Nobody will confirm this and nothing else explains the last month of selections. A costly error buys a player a period of being second choice that is always longer than the error was.

Squad24 Aug 2026

7 new faces, and Krasnodar are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Match15 Aug 2026

Krasnodar run riot against Akron

4‑0, and the margin flattered nobody — it could have carried another goal or two without complaint. Afternoons like this are why people keep coming.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Jhon Córdoba takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Age has not caught Jhon Córdoba yet — 9.22

At 33 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 9.22 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A one-man rearguard from Stanislav Agkatsev

There were 6 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.

Market17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Vologda come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Krasnodar did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Krasnodar

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Krasnodar

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

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Batxi beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 20. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Krasnodar rebuffed over Ryan Gauld

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

In brief

  • The dugout No hiding place for Batxi
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match1 Aug 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Krasnodar

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Krylya Sovetov kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Krasnodar will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Market3 Aug 2026

Krasnodar turn down Dinamo Moscow for Stanislav Agkatsev

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Sergey Petrov has been here 14 seasons

306 appearances across 14 seasons in one shirt. Nobody builds a career like that on purpose any more; it happens to a certain kind of footballer at a certain kind of club.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

Nikita Krivtsov goes up and wins it — 7.84

A defender on the scoresheet, which happens rarely enough that everybody in the ground remembers who took the corner. 1 for him, and a mark of 7.84 for the rest of it.

Market3 Aug 2026

Jhon Córdoba wants more than Krasnodar are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Market3 Aug 2026

Krasnodar may not be able to give Tormena what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Tormena wants continental football; whether Krasnodar can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Jhon Córdoba stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Jhon Córdoba and Krasnodar agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Krasnodar

Diego Costa 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.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Batxi 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.
