Insider Ivan Karpov has reported that CSKA Moscow is preparing an official offer of €0.5 million to acquire Lokomotiv midfielder Dmitry Barinov this winter, and sources from 'Championat' have confirmed this information. In the previous summer, CSKA made offers of €1.5 million and €3 million for Barinov, but these were refused by Lokomotiv. Lokomotiv had planned to extend the contract of the team captain, but the former general director, Vladimir Leonchenko, delayed negotiations. Leonchenko also offered Barinov a salary that was one and a half times lower than his current wage. As a result, Dmitry decided not to extend his contract with Lokomotiv. His contract expires in the summer of 2026.
According to a source familiar with the situation cited by 'Championat', Lokomotiv Moscow captain Dmitriy Barinov has decided to join CSKA Moscow. The move will take place either in the summer as a free agent or in the winter if the clubs agree on a transfer fee. Key reasons for Barinov's decision are not financial, but due to differences in the approach of the clubs' management. Lokomotiv Moscow delayed making a new contract offer, and when negotiations began, Barinov had already decided he would not reverse his decision. The new Lokomotiv Moscow management, represented by Boris Rotenberg, was unable to change the situation. CSKA Moscow has been interested in Barinov since the summer, with Fabio Celestini especially wanting him in the squad, and this interest persisted through the autumn. The source also states that Barinov has informed Lokomotiv Moscow management and Mikhail Galaktionov of his decision.
Konstantin Genich stated that according to his information, Barinov is planning to move to CSKA. He also said that the situation involving Barinov is reportedly not over yet.
In an exclusive interview with 'Championat' correspondent Andrey Pankov, Fabio Celestini stated that CSKA was negotiating for Barinov. Celestini said that he would have liked Barinov to become a CSKA player and mentioned that Barinov did not join the club.
Dmitry Barinov's transfer to CSKA did not take place. Matvey Kislyak stated that in his conversations with Barinov, there was no discussion or context regarding a transfer to CSKA. Barinov's contract with Lokomotiv expires next summer.
CSKA's Director of Communications, Kirill Breido, stated that CSKA held negotiations with Lokomotiv regarding the transfer of Dmitry Barinov, but Barinov ultimately did not become a CSKA player, as cited by Match TV. Previously, Barinov's representative reported that a Russian Premier League club made an offer to his client, but Dmitry decided to stay at Lokomotiv at least until winter.
Former CSKA player Vasily Ivanov commented on the possible transfer of midfielder Dmitry Barinov from Lokomotiv Moscow. 'CSKA can reach an agreement with Barinov. Everything is possible. He is a good player, has played for the Russian national team. Barinov could help CSKA. Negotiations between the parties are ongoing regarding the transfer of the 29-year-old midfielder.'

According to a source familiar with the situation, all parties are continuing communication regarding the transfer of Lokomotiv's 29-year-old Russian midfielder Dmitry Barinov to CSKA Moscow. The source also indicated that the player has not refused the offer from CSKA. This contrasts with an earlier report from the Telegram channel 'Mutko protiv', which had stated that negotiations between Lokomotiv and CSKA were complete. Barinov's current contract with his club runs until the end of June 2026, and the internet portal Transfermarkt values the midfielder at €8 million.
