Dinamo Batumi make their move for Davit Volkovi

$2.5M on the table at Zira. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Batumi go back to the board over Oto Goshadze

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $200.2K — a club that wants Oto Goshadze enough to be asked twice.

Tempers go at Dinamo Batumi

Matheus Barbosa was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market17 Aug 2026

Tornike Kirkitadze moves on

Iberia 1999 pay $72.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Santos tell Dinamo Batumi: João Pedro 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.

Matheus Barbosa has outgrown this division

There is a level at which a footballer stops being tested and starts being contained, and he reached it some time ago. Dinamo Batumi know it, and so does everybody who watches him.

Market17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Batumi and Matheus Barbosa are talking past each other

“There is a gap, and pretending there is not helps nobody.” Neither side has moved, and the calendar is working for exactly one of them.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Dinamo Batumi are still strangers to each other

10 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

No place for Antônio Falcão in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Dinamo Batumi are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Antônio Falcão would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Antônio Falcão is living that version at Dinamo Batumi, and it tends to show in the first month.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Paulo Vitor signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Paulo Vitor and Dinamo Batumi agree another 4 years.

A falling-out at Dinamo Batumi

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Douglas Oliveira 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Dinamo Batumi promote Temur Chakvetadze from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Temur Chakvetadze 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.

Giorgi Shengelia steps up from the Dinamo Batumi academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Giorgi Shengelia 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.

Douglas Oliveira gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Douglas Oliveira has just signed for Dinamo Batumi, and for once the answer mattered.

Market3 Aug 2026

Dinamo Batumi turn down Rustavi for Tornike Kirkitadze

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

Imran Oulad Omar signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Imran Oulad Omar commits to Dinamo Batumi for another 4 years.

Imran Oulad Omar 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 Dinamo Batumi this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Gareji Sagarejo join the queue for Irakli Rukhadze

Add another name to the list: Gareji Sagarejo have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Irakli Rukhadze. The answer from Dinamo Batumi has not changed — yet.

Dinamo Batumi rebuffed over Jakob Raspet

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

Market3 Aug 2026

Nobody at Dinamo Batumi has picked up the phone to Imran Oulad Omar

49 months to run and not a word offered. A club that lets the calendar negotiate for it usually ends up losing to the calendar.

Still no ink between Dinamo Batumi and Sandro Altunashvili

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at Dinamo Batumi, another week without a signature from Sandro Altunashvili.
