Spartak Trnava expressed interest in signing Újpest's 29-year-old Slovenian striker Milan Tucic on loan with an option to buy. However, the move was blocked by Újpest head coach Damir Krznar. The interest was reported by Belgian journalist Lorenzo Lepore. Tucic had not been a regular starter for Újpest, but he recently showcased his talent by scoring two goals in a crucial victory against ZTE, which might have influenced Krznar's decision to retain him. His contract with the Hungarian club runs until June 30, 2027, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €350k.
