Famous football agent Vladimir Kuzmichev works with Lokomotiv player Aleksey Batrakov. This was reported by Euro-football.ru.
He recently shared his thoughts on a message sent to Batrakov by Al-Nasr player Joao Felish. According to Kuzmichev, the players have been in contact with each other.
After that, Mendes' assistant reached out to the agent. They inquired about Benfica's interest.
Kuzmichev said: "We told them that there is no option to buy the player in the contract, and that this matter needs to be discussed separately with the club. For now, we are limiting ourselves to this." This was reported by RB Sport.
Earlier, Kuzmichev mentioned on the program "Comment. Show" that there is a buyout clause in 20-year-old Batrakov's contract, but this clause will only come into effect after the 2025/2026 season ends.
Aleksey Batrakov has started the 2025/2026 season well. The attacking midfielder of Lokomotiv managed to score seven goals in five matches in the Russian championship and cup.
This result shows his high sporting form. So far, no definite decision has been made regarding the player's future.
Therefore, the issue of his transfer remains open.
