A Big Return After 8 Years? Martin Dúbravka Set to Seek New Club This Summer

Should Martin Dúbravka depart England this summer, he could land in the Czech Republic next season. According to several Czech sources, both of Prague's biggest clubs – Slavia and Sparta – are interested in the experienced 37-year-old Slovak national team goalkeeper. This information comes from Livesport Zprávy and eFootball.

"After Burnley's relegation from the Premier League, he certainly won't be staying there. He'll either remain in England or he has offers from Sparta and Slavia," stated new Slovakia national team coach Vladimír Weiss during a press conference in Bratislava, marking his return to the national squad.

Dúbravka has withdrawn from the upcoming June national team camp, citing a combination of personal, family, and health reasons. A significant factor is likely his search for a new club for the upcoming season. Burnley is relegated from the Premier League, and the experienced Slovak goalkeeper's contract there is expiring.

In the recently concluded season, Dúbravka played 35 matches in England's top flight, with commentators largely agreeing he was one of Burnley's standout performers.

Dúbravka previously played for Sparta Prague during the 2017/2018 season. It was from there that he moved to the British Isles, spending nearly seven years at Newcastle United, with a brief loan spell at Manchester United. His most recent English club was the aforementioned Burnley.
