In the fall, Krejčí started in the basic group of the Europa League in both matches against Betis (1:2, 1:0 from Sparta’s point of view). Now he could join the squad of the Spanish opponent. However, according to Sport.cz, the information about the verbal agreement between Krejčí and Betis is odd, which was also confirmed by the player’s manager Pavel Paska for isport.cz. “We know nothing about Sparta,” said Paska.
They register interest in their captain at Letná. His summer transfer abroad is certainly not out of the question, Sparta is preparing for it in its considerations and in its own way, but at the moment nothing concrete has been decided.
The 24-year-old stopper, who can also play as a defensive midfielder, has a contract with Sparta until the summer of next year. In connection with him, there has already been speculation abroad about the interest of Girona or Sporting Lisbon.
Krejčí has been going through a difficult period in recent weeks, he was criticized after the last few performances of Sparta and the national team. “He played a lot for the national team, maybe the most in total. Perhaps we would imagine that there were not so many of them in friendly battles. But Krejda is a fantastic soldier, he fought well in the national team even now with Budějovice. His performances may have shown some physical fatigue, but mentally he is ready for the final part of the season,” said Sparta coach Brian Priske after Sunday’s win in České Budějovice.
The great strength of the native of Brno is his productivity, he is very effective in both offensive and defensive standard situations. He scored 41 goals in 139 competitive matches for Sparta, adding three more in nine starts for the national team.
Last week, Lukáš Vácha, former representative and current assistant coach in Hradec Králové, spoke to Sport.cz about his possible engagement abroad. “There can certainly be interest. He regularly starts for the continuously first team of the league, which is defending its title. In addition, he also plays in European cups, which is one of the basic prerequisites for him to be watched closely abroad,” said Vácha.
