A Spanish club is making inquiries after Kevin Csoboth, the Arabs would take Botka, Szalai may return, Hertha is asking for Dárdai's price - here are the latest transfer news from around the home of the Hungarian national team.
Although the Hungarian national football team did not make it past the group stage of the European Championship, it seems that the participation in the European Championship alone was enough for the players of the national team to become more and more sought after on the market.
Trabzonspor, who last finished third in the Turkish football league, are considering the signing of Attila Szalai
- writes Nemzeti Sport based on Turkish press reports. According to the newspaper, the club wants to strengthen all parts of the team and, if possible, wants to confirm players who have no problem settling in quickly.
Attila Szalai is just such a footballer, as he played for Fenerbachce in Turkey for two and a half years, from which he bid an emotional farewell last summer.
The Turkish newspapers remind us that since Szalai moved to the Bundesliga last summer, he has not been able to become a stable starting player either in Hoffenheim, who bought him, or in Freiburg, who offered him the opportunity to play on loan for six months.
According to the journalist of Nemzeti Sport, even before the European Championship, Celta Vigo and Twente were interested in Kevin Csoboth, who scored the winning goal in the 100th minute in the European group game against the Scots.
After the match, the demand for the player continued to grow. The football agent, Vladan Filipovics, responded to the related inquiry as follows:
"Regarding Csoboth Kevin, we surveyed the market before the European Championship, there were interests and we expected that their number would increase as a result of the good performance.
For the European Championship, at the age of twenty-four, it is a particularly good starting point. Many people noticed his performance against the Scots, even though he only came on as a substitute, but obviously I can repeat about him, since he has a live contract, those interested must first negotiate with his club. He showed his ability with his goal and his other position, but this performance can really have an impact on the transfer market if he can continue to do so."
Kevin Csoboth is currently a player of Újpest, with whom he has a contract until 2027, but the club previously indicated that it would release him if a suitable offer was made. According to Transfermarkt, the footballer's estimated value is currently 1 million euros.
Scouts from Arab clubs noticed Endre Botka's play in the European Championship match against the Scots - the information was confirmed by the player's manager, Vladan FIlipovics.
"I can confirm that regarding Endre Botka, a Saudi club and an Emirati club called me to ask for information about the defender, because their scouts saw him play in the match against the Scots and he gave a very convincing performance.
In such cases, of course, I will say that the player is bound by a live contract with the Ferencváros Torna Club, and the FTC must be negotiated in the first instance if they want to sign him, but so far there has been no contact between the clubs," said the football player's agent.
Of course, FIlipovics added that one match is obviously not enough for a player to sell himself abroad, but it might be good for him to be noticed and targeted for the next national team or club match.
Both Bild and Goal.com report that Hertha Bsc has started to develop the framework planned for the 2024-2025 football season, and at the same time, they have determined the value of their potentially departing players. By the way, the Berlin club does not want to sell the playing rights of the Hungarian national team, but they would accept a suitable offer.
This suitable offer for Márton Dárdai means 5 million euros, which means that the association would release him for that amount.
Since the Hungarian footballer's contract runs until next summer, if they want to see money from it, they have to sell it now. An offer has been received for Dárdai, FC Augsburg, who play in the German top flight, would pay 2 million euros for him, but this will certainly not be enough.
Recently, there have been rumors about Ádám Martin leaving his Korean club, but as it turned out, this is far from clear.
In 2022, the Hungarian attacker signed a contract with the Ulszan team as the top scorer of the NB I, for which he was initially given the opportunity to play, but in the 2023/2024 season he was forced to the substitute bench and played only 521 minutes in 10 games in 20 rounds.
The football manager, Gábor Papp, responded to Nemzeti Sport's inquiry by saying, "In the current situation, all I can say is that Ádám Martin has not terminated his contract with Ulssan, it is not even certain that he will, we are negotiating with his club. The fact is that he has not yet returned to the club, which is already playing a league game on Friday".
