Eduard Mor commented on the prospects of Dmitry Barinov extending his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow, stating that the player's contract is expiring. According to Mor, negotiations with the club concern the sum, with Barinov wanting one amount and Lokomotiv Moscow wanting less. Mor suggested that the player is increasing his goal contributions to influence the club to agree to his terms.

According to Match TV, Dmitry Barinov's representative, Vladimir Kuzmichev, stated it is highly probable they will meet with the club's general director, Vladimir Leonchenko, on Monday to discuss a contract extension. Kuzmichev clarified that they wanted to meet with the club on Friday to discuss the matter, but Vladimir Leonchenko did not have time, adding that they will most likely meet on Monday and begin discussions if the general director finds time. Separately, Yuri Nagornykh said that Lokomotiv is negotiating with Dmitry Barinov. The 29-year-old's contract with Lokomotiv is valid until the end of this season.

Dmitry Barinov has expressed a desire to sign a new employment contract with his current team. Barinov's current contract with Lokomotiv is valid until the summer of 2026. Championat correspondent Vladimir Chetverik reports that Barinov said he would "probably extend the contract."

Vladimir Kuzmichev, the representative for Dmitry Barinov, has denied information that Lokomotiv Moscow offered the player a contract extension.

Former Lokomotiv Moscow vice-president Yuri Belous has commented on Dmitry Barinov's contract situation, which runs until the summer of 2026.
