Hložek is heading to Leverkusen, he can become the most expensive player in the Czech league

He will only be 20 years old in July, but Adam Hložek has already scored 105 matches and 34 goals in the Czech league in the Czech league. He started in the national team jersey at last year’s Euro. It was only a matter of time before the native of Ivančice u Brna went to some big foreign football address.

There has been speculation about Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and in recent days Arsenal in London.

Patrick Berger, chief reporter of the German sports channel Sport1, announced today twitter account that Adam Hložek signed a contract with Bayer Leverkusen valid until the summer of 2027, ie for five years.

According to Berger, the severance pay for Sparta should be around 22 million euros. However, neither Bayer nor Sparta, nor the player’s agent Pavel Paska, has officially confirmed the transfer.

Another Czech representative, Patrik Schick, is already working at Bayer Leverkusen. His 24 goals in the current Bundesliga year moved the club among certain participants in the Champions League. Schick came to Leverkusen in September 2020 for 26.5 million euros. The club then bought it from AS Roma.

So now it should be completed by Adam Hložek. “It’s hard to comment until it’s official. In any case, I have been saying for a long time that Adam has the opportunity to move forward in his career, “said national team coach Jaroslav Šilhavý.

According to German journalist Patrick Berger, Hložek was also an interesting option for Dortmund and Bayern Munich. “But not priority number 1,” he adds.

If the transfer amount of 22 million euros were confirmed, Adam Hložek would be ahead of his current leader Tomáš Souček in an imaginary ranking compiled according to the price of players leaving the Czech league.

For him, West Ham first paid Slavia 4.5 million euros for hosting, then paid 16.2 million euros for the transfer. In total, this amounted to EUR 20.7 million, contracted in the summer of 2020.

However, another European journalist, Fabrizio Romano of Sky Sport, writes only about 13 million euros for Hložek, saying that Sparta was to exchange a 30% share of Hložek’s further sales.
