Aleksey Batrakov, a 20-year-old Russian attacking midfielder for Lokomotiv Moscou, has been linked with Napoli and FC Porto. The player's contract, which is valid until June 2029, contains a release clause of €16 million. Paris Saint-Germain is also interested, has reportedly sought information, and could enter into negotiations. Batrakov's agent, Vladimir Kuzmichev, recently acknowledged that it is not a secret that several major clubs are interested, but clarified that further details could be discussed only after direct contact is made with Lokomotiv. He has scored 13 goals and provided 9 assists in 24 Premier Liga appearances this season. The Russian international has 10 caps and 3 goals for his country. His current market value is €25.00m, according to Transfermarkt. In January 2026, Lokomotiv's asking price was reportedly €35-€40 million. Reports from late 2025 mentioned a potential €30 million summer offer from Barcelona and offers of €30 million from Saudi clubs in August 2025.
