Udinese are monitoring 25-year-old Czech midfielder Lukáš Červ, and Espanyol are also showing interest in the player. The main obstacle to a potential transfer is Viktoria Plzeň’s €6m asking price. Discussions are continuing, and there is a growing belief that the difference in valuation could be resolved over time. The midfielder joined Viktoria Plzeň in January 2024 and has a contract until June 2029. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €6.00m. Červ has been capped 18 times for Czechia, scoring 2 goals. In the 2025/2026 Chance Liga season, he made 29 appearances, providing 1 goal and 2 assists.
