The off-season in Kazakhstani football is in full swing. The bbabo.net correspondent talks about the news from the KPL clubs, which of them are most active in the transfer market, and which are moderate.
"Tobol"
So far, from the camp of the champion of Kazakhstan, the news mostly concerns striker Igor Sergeev, who, according to unofficial information, is interested in the RPL club "Khimki".
In addition, it was reported that “Astana” and “Kairat” were interested in the defender of “Tobol” Alex Amanovich. However, no specifics have yet been observed. But, apparently, Kostanay intend to keep the backbone of the team. By the way, it is reported about the extension of the contract with the head coach Alexander Moskalenko.
"Astana"
The news about Astana at the end of the season was mostly scandalous. This is the disqualification of Andrey Tikhonov with Tigan Barseghian, and a transfer ban, as well as suspension from European competitions due to accounts payable and a fine. According to unofficial data, it is 150 thousand euros.
As for the transfer news, after the departure of Tikhonov, the capital appointed a new head coach Srdjan Blagojevic, who had previously coached “Caspian”, and also parted ways with some of the leaders, in addition, it was reported about the departure of six other players.
In terms of specifics, it has already been officially announced that contracts with the club's leaders - goalkeeper Alexander Zarutskiy, Abzal Beysebekov and Islambek Kuat - have been extended.
"Kairat"
Almaty residents continue to remain silent. All news around "Kairat" is generated from unofficial sources. The club itself does not comment on the latest rumors in any way.
If the departure of Wagner Love and Kamo Hovhannisyan is an official fact, then the departure of the rest of the players refers to unconfirmed information. Nothing is still known about the joint fate of the “yellow-blacks” with Kurban Berdyev. Bekievich himself at the end of November said that everything would be known after December 15, based on the results of a conversation with the leadership. But - for now, silence.
Therefore, it is now impossible to say something decisively about "Kairat".
"Kyzyl-Zhar"
Petropavlovtsi, who will play in the Conference League next year, have parted ways with Ukrainian midfielder Maxim Drachenko.
It is also reported about the possible return of Alexander Sokolenko, as well as the departure of goalkeeper Almat Bekbaev. The opening of the KPL-2021 Alibek Kasym does not exclude the option of leaving for the RPL. The defender said this in an interview with bbabo.net.

"Ordabasy"
It is not yet known about the transfer plans of Shymkent residents. Earlier it was said about the possible departure of the club goalkeeper Vladimir Plotnikov to "Atyrau".
A much more pressing problem is the financial condition of Ordabasy, which is predicted to have the fate of Irtysh, which has withdrawn from the KPL. Shymkent coach Samat Smakov noted that these are all speculations and rumors.
"Aktobe"
“Red and White” as usual are active in the offseason. At least, an appropriate information background has been created. While it is known about the signing of a contract with Arman Kenesov. But, in addition to this, it is reported that "Aktobe" is interested in many players, including those from the national team of Kazakhstan and the first league.
"Miner"
Karaganda residents have extended their agreement with Serbian midfielder Stefan Bukorats until 2023. At the same time, it is reported that the miners are interested in keeping Idris Umaev and the Ghanaian footballer with Tajik citizenship David Mavutor in their ranks.
From unofficial sources it became known about the global cleansing of the composition in the Karaganda club. Moreover, the Pitmen's management did not renew the contracts with their pupils Oralkhan Omirtaev and Gevorg Nadzharyan.
"Caspian"
Aktausians in the offseason said goodbye to their head coach Srdjan Blagoevie, who left for Astana.
There is information about the interest in the leaders of the club on the part of other KPL teams.
In turn, “Caspian” intends to keep its main goalkeeper Marko Milosevic.
"Akzhaiyk"
The Urals can sign Kazakhstani footballer Dauren Kairalliev, who played in Atyrau.
In addition, there was information about Aktobe's interest in the leader of “Akzhaiyk” Yerkin Tapalov, as well as about the departure of Russian footballer Mikhail Gaschenkov to the FNL club “SKA-Khabarovsk”.
"Taraz"
Zhambyl residents, apparently, managed to keep the goalkeeper Mukhammedzhan Seisen in their ranks. It was noted that Aktobe claimed it. And it became known about the interest of Aksu and Shakhtar in the defender of the club, Faith Friday Obilor. According to the source, the Nigerian decided to leave Taraz due to constant salary delays.
"Atyrau"
"Oilmen" in the new season will perform under the direction of Konstantin Gorovenko. The Kazakh specialist replaced the Armenian coach Aram Voskanyan.
Probably, Gorovenko will have to work with a renewed roster. According to unofficial information, only one legionnaire remained in Atyrau. In addition, the oilmen did not renew the contract with their pupil Dauren Kairalliev.It is also reported that the oilmen are interested in the players of Kairat Danil Ustimenko and Aybol Abiken, and in the forward of Turan Samir Fazli.
"Turan"
There is very little news about the club from Turkestan. We only know about the interest in the striker Samir Fazli. According to unofficial sources, Aktobe, Atyrau and Aksu have already negotiated with the North Macedonian. Moreover, it is possible that he will continue to play for "Turan". The search for a new team for this legionnaire should be completed before the new year.
"Maktaaral"
After Gorovenko left for “Atyrau”, Vakhid Masudov became a new contender for the post of head coach of “Maktaaral”, who had already coached a club from the Turkestan region this season. Also, Andrei Ferapontov, who worked in the coaching staff of Alexander Sednev in Ordabasy, is applying for the vacant position.
"Aksu"
The Pavlodar club in the status of a newcomer to the CPL has become one of the main newsmakers of the off-season. This is mainly due to the news about the possible appointment of the head coach of the Spaniard Albert Riera.
“Aksu”, judging by unofficial information, claims to the Kazakh goalkeeper Samat Otarbayev. It became known about the possible transfer to "Aksu" of the captain of "Kairat" Gafurzhan Suyumbayev and interest in Samir Fazli from "Turan".
As for possible losses, Pavlodar residents may lose their best forward Miras Turlybek, who, judging by unofficial information, is interested in “Aktobe”.
Let us remind you that Tobol became the champion of KPL-2021. "Astana" took the second place, and "Kairat" - the third. "Kaisar" and "Zhetysu" left the top division. The newcomers of the KPL were Maktaaral and Aksu.
The 2022 season starts in February with a drawing for the Kazakhstan Super Cup. It will be attended by "Tobol", "Astana", "Kairat" and "Kyzyl-Zhar". The championship of Kazakhstan is to start in early March.
