According to 'Sport Day by Day', Vladimir Kuzmichev stated there is stable interest in Aleksei Batrakov from European clubs, including Barcelona. Kuzmichev mentioned that a release clause is included in the player's contract but it will only become active next season, in the summer transfer window. A transfer in winter will be possible if an offer interests Lokomotiv football club, with all other aspects being a matter of agreement.

Former footballer Aleksandr Bubnov has commented on the possible interest from Spanish club Barcelona in Lokomotiv Moscow midfielder Aleksei Batrakov. Bubnov stated that they are watching many players and that if there is a serious offer, the player should not hesitate and should immediately go to Barcelona.

Igor Ledya­khov addressed the reported interest from Barcelona in Lokomotiv Moscow and Russia national team midfielder Aleksey Batrakov, downplaying the speculation as premature. Speaking to a correspondent from 'Чемпионат', Ledya­khov questioned the substance of the reports, suggesting they were just talk and that there were no concrete negotiations. He advised that the 20-year-old player should focus on completing a season at his current level, after which he believed offers would definitely follow. Batrakov, who has scored 10 goals and made two assists in 11 appearances in all competitions this season, has a contract with Lokomotiv Moscow until the summer of 2029. The Transfermarkt portal lists his market value at €12 million.
