Bulykin predicts immediate transfer request if Batrakov attracts Spanish giants

Former Russia international Dmitry Bulykin believes Alexey Batrakov would quickly ask to leave if Barcelona or Real Madrid made an offer for the attacking midfielder.

Bulykin was discussing the future of the Lokomotiv player, who is regarded as one of the club’s key attacking talents. He said Batrakov could request a move immediately should either of Spain’s leading clubs show an interest in signing him.

Batrakov has already represented two clubs during the 2026/2027 season, playing for Lokomotiv and Galatasaray. However, he cannot appear for a third club during the same campaign because FIFA regulations limit the number of teams a player can represent in one season.

The 20-year-old is valued at 28 million euros by Transfermarkt.
