Marek Icha, a 24-year-old from the Czech Republic, has returned to Pardubice from Slovan Liberec. At Slovan Liberec, the defensive midfielder was an important player for manager Radoslav Kováč, who valued Icha's understanding of his system, which was described as demanding. The transfer is part of a wider trend at Liberec of selling players to domestic competitors. In the 2025/2026 season, Icha made 34 domestic league appearances, scoring 1 goal and providing 5 assists. A former youth international, he has 11 caps for the Czechia U21 team and a current Transfermarkt market value of €800k.
