Dmitriy Loskov, the sports advisor to the general director of the "Lokomotiv" team, commented on the possibility of midfielder Aleksey Batrakov moving to European clubs. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
According to him, although interest in the young player is growing, there is no need to rush into a transfer. Loskov emphasized that the player is focusing on his game and trying not to succumb to external pressure.
He said: “I think he will not pay attention to this and will do his job. After last season, he will attract a lot of attention.
The main thing is not to collapse under psychological pressure. It is too early to think about Europe right now.”
For reference, Aleksey has been playing in the main squad of "Lokomotiv" since 2024. Last season, he was the team's most effective player, accumulating 25 points in the "goal+assist" system.
In June 2025, the club extended the midfielder's contract until 2029. This reflects his confidence in the team and gives insight into his future plans.
Additionally, Loskov highlighted the importance of time and patience for the young player's development and growth. For now, the main goal is to improve his game and be beneficial to the team.
While questions and offers from European clubs may arise, there is no need to make hasty decisions in this regard. Maintaining the player's mental state and supporting him is a priority for the team.
Therefore, all parties should be patient and properly assess future opportunities.
