Czech national goalkeeper Lukáš Horníček moved on Monday, August 3, from Portugal's Braga to Newcastle United. He signed a five-year contract with the English club, and the transfer fee of 30 million euros, approximately 726 million crowns, made him the third most expensive Czech footballer in history. irozhlas.cz ↗
According to British sources, Newcastle paid 25.7 million pounds for Horníček. The twenty-four-year-old goalkeeper has one appearance for the Czech senior national team to his name. Back in June, during the World Cup, he had assumed he would return to Braga after the tournament and begin preparations there, but in the end he left the Portuguese club after his release clause was activated. idnes.cz ↗
Horníček described the last few days as an emotional rollercoaster. After joining his new team, he took part in his first training session and met his new teammates. According to available reports, German striker Nick Woltemade immediately reminded him that he had scored two goals against him in the past. In his first impressions, the Czech goalkeeper also mentioned Newcastle's connection to former Czech goalkeeper Pavel Srníček. idnes.cz ↗
For Horníček, the transfer represents a significant career step up to the Premier League. The coming period will show what role Newcastle actually assigns him within the goalkeeping hierarchy and whether the Czech international can establish himself in one of the most closely watched football competitions. eurofotbal.cz ↗
