Braga's 23-year-old Czech Republic goalkeeper Lukas Hornicek has attracted interest from several major European clubs, including Porto, Benfica, and Leeds. Inter also identified the player as a priority, but their initial exploratory approach was unsuccessful. The Portuguese club considers the one-cap international indispensable and has stated that any interested party must pay his €30 million release clause in full, as they are unwilling to offer any discount. Hornicek, who joined Braga in July 2023 and made 33 appearances in Liga Portugal last season, has a contract until 2028. His current market value is €18.00m, according to Transfermarkt.
