Former Spartak player and coach Dmitry Alenichev stated that Dinamo is interested in Lokomotiv's 28-year-old Russian forward Dmitry Vorobyov, whom he considers one of the strongest strikers in the Russian championship. Speaking on the '100% Myasa' YouTube channel, Alenichev added that there was also talk of interest from CSKA, Zenit, and Spartak. He opined that if Zenit, Krasnodar, CSKA, and Spartak were to make identical financial proposals, Vorobyov would choose Spartak, though Alenichev himself would be against such a transfer to his former club if the fee was excessively high. Vorobyov has 4 caps and 1 goal for Russia. He joined Lokomotiv in July 2024, and his current contract runs until June 2027. In the 2025/2026 Premier Liga season, he made 26 appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 6 assists. His current Transfermarkt market value is €6.00m. In April 2026, Lokomotiv's sporting director reportedly estimated the player's value to be more than €10 million, while reports from January and February 2026 mentioned a potential €10 million buyout amount. His last completed transfer was from Orenburg to Lokomotiv Moskva in July 2024 for a reported fee of €2.5 million.
