According to Timur Gurtskaya, there has already been an approach for Vorobyov, and his agents have substantial salary demands which currently are beyond Lokomotiv's financial capabilities. Gurtskaya stated that Lokomotiv does not have the necessary funds and probably will not, unless an agreement is reached.

Konstantin Genich has commented on the possible transfer of Lokomotiv forward Dmitry Vorobyov to Zenit Saint Petersburg for €10 million. Genich stated that it would be correct if Zenit pays the buyout amount for Vorobyov. He mentioned that Vorobyov is not young, but Zenit needs to take action promptly. Genich also noted that if this transfer occurs, Lokomotiv would lose its main striker but would receive €10 million.

Many rumors are circulating this winter about a possible departure from Lokomotiv for Dmitry Vorobyov, 28. He is considered the most desired forward with a Russian passport. Dmitry Vorobyov stated that he is focused on the training process and preparing for the second part of the season.
