Fyodor Lapoukhov, a 23-year-old Belarusian goalkeeper, was offered to Lokomotiv Moscow by agents close to the club's management, alongside two other Belarusian national team players. The agents stated that the players would be willing to wait until winter if the transfers do not happen immediately. Lapoukhov had previously been offered to other Russian clubs, including Rostov. However, Lokomotiv currently does not intend to bid for the goalkeeper. It is also understood that teams from Europe are monitoring him, and Mainz is believed to hold the most serious interest. Lapoukhov has 16 caps for Belarus and plays for CSKA Sofia, having joined in January 2025 on a contract that runs until June 2028. Transfermarkt estimates his market value to be €2.00m. He has also been linked with Spartak Moskva.
