Slavia Praha has completed the signing of Erik Prekop from Baník Ostrava. Baník was initially reluctant to sanction the move, particularly while the club was competing in Europe. However, following their elimination by Celje, owner Václav Brabec consented to the departure. Slavia's interest was significant and publicly confirmed by club president Jaroslav Tvrdík. The negotiations between the two clubs were described as challenging. Prekop's agent also verified the strong interest and the ongoing discussions. An agreement was ultimately reached. Baník reportedly gained a substantial financial sum plus three players in the deal. As part of the transfer, Prekop completed a medical in Prague.

Erik Prekop has signed with Slavia Praha just an hour and a half before the Champions League roster deadline. He signed a contract with Slavia till June 30, 2028. The transfer includes a player exchange with Baník Ostrava, involving Slavia's Ondřej Kričfaluši, David Planka, and Filip Šancl moving to Baník.

Negotiations are currently underway between Baník Ostrava and Slavia Prague for 27-year-old Slovakian forward Erik Prekop. Slavia Prague is keen to finalize the transfer to include him in their Champions League squad. Despite a previous offer not coming to fruition, discussions have resumed. Slavia's chairman, Jaroslav Tvrdík, has publicly acknowledged the club's interest. With the Czech transfer window closing early next week, Slavia faces pressure to complete the deal by Tuesday to meet the Champions League roster deadline. Erik Prekop has noted the lucrative offer, describing it as beneficial for all parties involved, but admitted that the initial attempt did not succeed. Nevertheless, all options remain open as negotiations continue. Prekop's contract with Baník Ostrava is due to expire in June 2027, and his market value is estimated at €700,000 by Transfermarkt.
