Negotiations on the exchange of midfielders Artem Sokolov and Sergey Babkin between Wings of the Soviets and Lokomotiv have reached an impasse, RB Sport reports.
Earlier it was reported that Sokolov would soon move to Lokomotiv, from where he would go on loan to PARI NN.
It is noted that Lokomotiv sent an official request for an exchange of players to Krylya Sovetov, to which the Samara club gave a positive response. But during personal negotiations with the players, the situation stalled. Babkin is unhappy with his playing time at Krylia and is refusing a transfer this winter. If nothing changes and the player cannot be persuaded, the exchange will not take place.
Babkin has been playing for Lokomotiv since 2019 and has played 20 matches for the main team. The midfielder played for Wings of the Soviets in 12 matches this season, five of which were in the FONBET Cup of Russia.
