Robert Mejía conveyed his aspirations to join a leading team in the Russian Premier League (RPL), including Lokomotiv. He indicated a general interest in transferring to one of the top RPL clubs, particularly expressing his admiration for the career of Wilmar Barrios at Zenit, which he hopes to replicate. Mejía, who is currently on loan at Khimki from the Colombian club Once Caldas, has made 10 appearances this season without scoring any goals or providing any assists. Although he showed interest in several top RPL teams such as Zenit, CSKA, Spartak, Lokomotiv, and Dynamo, he ultimately demonstrated a preference for Zenit, inspired by Barrios' achievements there.
