Lokomotiv Moscow showed interest in Ozan Tufan, but the transfer process stalled as the Russian club was unwilling to pay a transfer fee. The talks have been suspended, and Ozan Tufan's future remains uncertain.

Trabzonspor rejected Lokomotiv's proposal to loan the 30-year-old Turkish midfielder Ozan Tufan. The Turkish club is not considering a loan and is only interested in selling the player. Lokomotiv was willing to cover all salary expenses for Tufan. Ozan Tufan has been with Trabzonspor since 2024, joining from Hull City for a €1 million fee, and participated in 41 matches last season, scoring five goals and providing two assists. His contract with Trabzonspor is valid until 2027, with a market value of €2.2 million according to Transfermarkt.
