AS Trenčín's general manager, Róbert Rybníček, has confirmed that reigning Niké liga champion Slovan Bratislava is interested in 21-year-old Slovakian Hugo Pavek. Speaking on the ŠPORT.sk show 'Kam si to kopol?', Rybníček revealed that there is increased interest in the player and that other clubs are also beginning to show interest. He added that Trenčín will carefully consider the situation and intends to be patient, noting that Pavek has had some performance fluctuations. The player's contract is valid until the summer of 2027. His market value is estimated to be around €650,000, according to transfermarkt.de. Rybníček also clarified that while another of the club's full-backs, Nikolas Brandis, is attracting attention from different clubs, the interest from Slovan is specifically for Pavek. Pavek joined AS Trencin in July 2024 and has one cap for the Slovakia national team; in the 2025/2026 season, he made 26 league appearances, scoring one goal and providing two assists.
