Squad17 Aug 2026

The knee: Deividas Simkus out for 137 days

137 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Trakai lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match12 Aug 2026

Arvydas Sernas sends Trakai through

Cup ties wait for somebody to seize them, and Arvydas Sernas obliged against Siauliai. 2‑1 on the night, and the name in the next round’s hat is Trakai.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A falling-out at Trakai

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

Market17 Aug 2026

Trakai sell Kristaps Kamess for $330.0K

Kristaps Kamess has left for Stumbras in a $330.0K deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

Petar Bosančić will join Trakai for nothing

The paperwork is done long before the player is. Petar Bosančić has agreed terms to come here when his current deal runs out, which means Trakai have spent a summer's transfer budget on a phone call.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

NK Maribor tell Trakai: Žan Jevšenak 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.

The terraces17 Aug 2026

Trakai supporters have found a favourite in Marius Cernych

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 23-year-old it feels ownership of. Marius Cernych has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

The dugout17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Karolis Lasickas

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

Squad17 Aug 2026

Danko Kiković needs a bigger stage

He is doing things every Saturday that nobody around him can answer. It is flattering for a season and a problem after that, and Trakai know which stage they are at.

Squad10 Aug 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Deividas Simkus

144 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Trakai lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market10 Aug 2026

Justas Sernas turns Liepaja down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Kristaps Kamess agrees terms with Stumbras

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

Market10 Aug 2026

Trakai turn down Stumbras for Karolis Lasickas

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

A move Danko Kiković 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. Danko Kiković is living that version at Trakai, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Trakai agree $26.0K for Edgaras Novikovas

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

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Dino Kojić will not be coming to Trakai

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Olimpija Ljubljana is saying, and nobody at Trakai is enjoying the guessing.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Karolis Lasickas stays put

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

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Trakai

Karolis Lasickas 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.

Trakai say no — this time

The offer from Stal Rzeszów for Justas Sernas was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Karolis Lasickas 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.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Trakai rebuffed over Albek Gongapshev

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Vykintas Girdvainis 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 Trakai this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Trakai ask about Dino Kojić

A loan enquiry to Olimpija Ljubljana: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Karolis Lasickas asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.
