Vadim Rakov spent the past season on loan at Krylya Sovetov. According to Myach.pro, Vadim Rakov stated that his season at the club began well for him, but he then suffered an injury and a recurrence. He has returned to Moscow and is now focused on contributing to Lokomotiv.

Vadim Rakov moved to Krylya Sovetov from Lokomotiv Moscow on a one-year loan at the start of July 2025. In August 2025, rumors appeared in the media about the forward's alleged addiction to betting on sports. It was reported that this was the reason the Moscow club decided to loan him out. Rakov later responded to the allegations, saying he did not pay attention to them. 'Sport-Express' reports that the player believes ill-wishers may have spread the story because he was leading the RPL goalscoring race at that moment.
