Jakub Elbel, a 26-year-old Czech left-back, has agreed with the management of Sigma Olomouc to an early termination of his contract, which had two seasons remaining. According to information from inFotbal, Baník Ostrava could surprisingly become his new employer. Elbel had not played for Olomouc in the current season, as he was given permission to find a new club following a three-month suspension for his involvement in a betting affair. He would join the Silesian squad as a free agent and would probably first get match practice with the second-division reserve team. The former Czechia U21 international has a current market value of €350k, according to Transfermarkt.
