“Barinov had a desire to leave for Europe and try his hand there” – Dmitry Tarasov

Former Lokomotiv football player Dmitry Tarasov reacted to the news that midfielder Dmitry Barinov extended his contract with the railway workers until 2026.

“This is good news for railroad workers. Barinov is the captain of the team, a person with character who can drag the team in difficult times. He has been in the club for a very long time, you have to hold on to such people.

Is a contract extension a plus for Barinov? You have to ask him. Because I know that Dmitry had a desire to go to Europe and try his hand there. It is difficult to say whether it will be harder to do now.

Barinov is now focused on Lokomotiv, but if an offer appears and he shows himself, then there is a chance. You can’t give up on your dreams, you have to go all the way. Dmitry is one of those who can give all his strength to Lokomotiv and strive for his goal at the same time. He looks a little bit like me in type,” Metaratings.ru quotes Tarasov.

Barinov has made 33 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring two goals and providing five assists.

Portal Transfermarkt estimates the market value of the 26-year-old player at 8 million euros.
