Dmitriy Vorobyov said that negotiations with Lokomotiv are ongoing and that the situation is closer to an extension, according to correspondent Vladimir Chetverik.

Dmitry Vorobyov has refused a new contract extension offer from Lokomotiv. A source familiar with the situation reported to 'Championat' that Lokomotiv made an offer with a salary of 10 million rubles per month, which the player's side declined.

Valery Filatov stated that negotiations to extend the contract with Dmitry Vorobyov are ongoing, but it is a difficult matter. It was noted that they are not ending their association with these players but are negotiating. Filatov expressed the opinion that they might reach an agreement with both players. Much depends on the behavior of the coach, not only on the president and management.

Negotiations are underway regarding a contract extension for Dmitry Vorobyov, a 28-year-old Russian centre-forward. Dmitry Ulyanov, sporting director of Lokomotiv, stated that negotiations are ongoing and proceeding in a working manner. Vorobyov, who has 4 caps and 1 goal for Russia, has scored 10 goals and provided 6 assists in 20 Premier Liga appearances this season for the club he joined in July 2024. His current contract is set to expire in June 2027, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €5.00m. Several Russian clubs, including CSKA Moskva, Zenit, and Spartak Moskva, have been linked with the player. In April 2026, Lokomotiv's sporting director reportedly estimated his price to be more than €10 million, while his last transfer from Orenburg in July 2024 was for a fee of €2.5 million.
