Strasbourg is seeking a new goalkeeper for the upcoming season, as the club anticipates that Chelsea may recall their current number one, Penders. The French club has a list of candidates for the position, which includes 23-year-old Czech international Lukas Hornicek, who is currently with Braga. Hornicek joined the Portuguese club in July 2023, and his contract is valid until 2028. He has made 20 appearances in Liga Portugal this season, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10.00m.
