Former Russian footballer Igor Korneev expressed his belief that Lokomotiv would not release defender Nair Tiknizyan to Sevilla. Korneev indicated that the Spanish club would not be able to meet the financial demands of Lokomotiv, noting that Sevilla is in a dire financial situation and is unlikely to fulfill Lokomotiv's expectations. He explained that Sevilla wants to take Tiknizyan on loan with some options, but Lokomotiv would not agree to this arrangement. Korneev also suggested that Tiknizyan himself would be willing to move to Sevilla, but Sevilla is not the club that can satisfy Lokomotiv's requirements.
