Andrey Talaev, the agent of Kirill Kravtsov, confirmed that the player is in ongoing negotiations with Lokomotiv. Talaev stated that there is nothing to say yet, but said that Lokomotiv is indeed interested in Kravtsov.

According to 'Championat', which cited a source familiar with the situation, Kirill Kravtsov is close to a loan move to Lokomotiv. For the transfer to be completed, the midfielder will extend his contract with Sochi before joining the Moscow club.

Andrey Talaev, the agent for Sochi's 23-year-old Russian midfielder Kirill Kravtsov, commented on interest from Lokomotiv Moscow in his client after Championat had earlier reported that the club was the most likely to sign the player. Zenit is also mentioned as a club interested in signing Kravtsov, but the footballer is reportedly not interested in a move to the St. Petersburg club. In a conversation with a Championat correspondent, Talaev stated that they would discuss Kirill's future after the season. Kravtsov, who has two caps for Russia U23, joined FC Sochi in July 2022 and his contract runs until June 2026. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €1.20m.
