After 27-year-old Czech midfielder Christian Frýdek and Baník Ostrava mutually agreed to terminate his contract, Hradec Králové is a potential destination. According to Baník's sporting manager Michal Kordula, the player's departure was due to strong competition for his position and the low probability of him receiving adequate playing time after returning from a loan in Indonesia. During the summer, there had also been discussions about a possible transfer to Bohemians. Frýdek, who has two caps for the Czechia U20 team, has a current market value of €375k according to Transfermarkt.
