Rumour: NAVI approached Krabeni before IGL extension
James Banks has shared an unconfirmed report stating that NAVI approached Krabeni before the player committed to his contract extension with FUT.
If true, this adds Krabeni to a growing list of players who passed on the Ukrainian org during this transfer window. Banks noted that while he cannot confirm the report from an organizational level, sources indicated NAVI made contact before other players declined.
This news arrives alongside earlier disclosures that dziugss and dem0n also turned down NAVI's advances to sign their own FUT extensions. The trio represents a significant portion of the roster, including the IGL and core riflers central to the team's rise in 2026.
For an organization attempting to rebuild its way back into the world's top five, having three players from the same squad reportedly say no in a single off-season is a damaging headline. Krabeni has since secured his extension with FUT, effectively ending speculation around the team's leadership role.
