Early life
[edit]Born in 2005 in Orekhovo-Zuyevo,[2] near Moscow, Batrakov was drawn to football from an early age, playing in his neighborhood. His parents enrolled him in futsal, and by 2011, at just 6 years old, he joined FC Lokomotiv's Academy, progressing through every age group.[3]
Club career
[edit]A graduate of FC Lokomotiv Moscow's Academy, he stood out in various youth tournaments as part of the FC Lokomotiv Moscow's squad. During the 2020/21 season, he won the Youth Football League 2 (YFL-2) with the team, and in the 2023 season, triumphed in the Russian Youth Football League.[4] His exceptional performances earned him the tournament's Best Player award, as well as the title of Top Playmaker for the season. Impressively, he tied for first in the "goal plus assist" category, recording 9 goals[5] and 12 assists in 17 matches.[6]
In the summer of 2023, he began training with FC Lokomotiv's senior team and participated in friendlies, scoring against FC Volgar Astrakhan. On 29 December 2023, Batrakov signed a new contract with Lokomotiv Moscow until 2027.[7] He was invited to training camp in the UAE. In a match against Saudi side Al-Okhdood, he came on as a substitute, delivering an assist and scoring a goal. He also found the net in a match against Gulf United.
Batrakov made his debut in the Russian Premier League for Lokomotiv Moscow on 31 March 2024 in a game against Krasnodar.[8] He scored his first RPL goal for Lokomotiv in his third game on 12 May 2024 against Orenburg.[9]
In the 2024–25 season, Batrakov scored 7 goals in the first 9 games, tying Maksim Glushenkov (who left Lokomotiv for Russian champions Zenit before the season, opening playing time for Batrakov) for the top of the goal scorers table at the time, also providing 5 assists in those 9 games.[10]
International career
[edit]On 8 September 2023, he made his debut for Russia's under-21 national team, coached by Ivan Shabarov, who had previously called him up to the U-19 squad. In the match against Uzbekistan, which ended in a 3–3 draw, he played a key role, contributing to two of the team's three goals.[11]
Batrakov was first called up to the Russia national team for 2024 LPBank Cup in September 2024.[12]
