Antonín Barák has become a key player for Hellas Verona. He has already shown great qualities in the last season, but in the one that ended on Sunday, he has surpassed the previous one. It is no wonder then that there is speculation about his potential transfer for a better one.
Hellas Verona finished ninth in Serie A this season. The club was nine points short of eventual promotion to Europe. Despite this, it was one of the most attractive teams of this past season.
The Italian team, which includes Antonín Barák, presents itself with attacking and attractive football. Thanks to this, many goals have been scored in Hellas matches. Verona even boasts the fifth best attack in the league.
Only champions AC Milan, runners-up Inter, offensive Napoli and Lazio have been more productive on offense. Defensively, it wasn’t so glorious from Hellas’ point of view, but at least it wasn’t boring.
A big part of Verona’s offensive productivity is the aforementioned Antonín Barák. He had the best season of his career, scoring 11 goals and adding 4 assists in 30 competitive games as a midfielder.
According to Transfermarkt, the 27-year-old Czech’s value has risen by €6 million this season, and his current price should be around €20 million, which is definitely not bad.
Moreover, with a great season, Barak seems to have opened the door for a transfer to a bigger club. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the native of Pribram is being closely monitored by the Napoli management. The latter could bring him in especially if Fabian Ruiz leaves.
However, the interest of other clubs has not been ruled out, with Napoli being the most talked about. Apparently, Hellas are following the price tags on Transfermarkt and according to Italian media will demand €20 million for their star.
