Matej Kovar is heading to Germany! He will join Hložek and Schick, to cost more than 8 million euros

Great news. The Czech-Moravian colony in Bayer Leverkusen will probably grow soon. Adam Hložek and Patrik Schick should be joined by talented goalkeeper Matej Kovar.

The third footballer from the Czech Republic, the third player who spent at least part of his career at Sparta Prague. That may soon be a statistic Bayer Leverkusen will be able to boast.

According to InFotbal and iDNES, Adam Hložek and Patrik Schick should be complemented by the talented goalkeeper Matěj Kovář, who has been dealing with his future.

The 23-year-old native of Moravia made a great name for himself during his guest spell at Sparta last season. He helped to win the league title and was a key player. There was even speculation that he could be a number two at Manchester United.

Sparta wanted to sign him for another year, but the Red Devils were against it. Instead of another loan spell, they preferred him to leave permanently, but the summer club could not afford to pay him.

Smith also appeared in preliminary matches, made two saves and was on the bench twice. In recent days, he has been linked with a move to CZ Belgrade or the second English league.

German clubs were also dealt with, one of which seems to have succeeded. Bayer Leverkusen should pay over 8 million euros for the arrival of Kovar. The transfer is expected to be announced on Friday.

The Moravian goalkeeper will fight for the number one position with Finnish goalkeeper Lukas Hradecky, who, although a long-term number one, has been unstable in his performance.

It’s worth noting that Kovar certainly doesn’t have the door closed at Old Trafford. On the contrary. Manchester United have enforced a buy-back clause in his contract.
