Speculation regarding Roman Čerepkai's departure from FC Košice has been present since the end of the last season. According to Terry Westley, all discussion about transfers is merely speculation without a direct offer.

Interest has been registered in 24-year-old Slovakian centre-forward Roman Čerepkai. This interest is partly due to his inclusion in the national team, for which he has one cap. Čerepkai plays for FC Kosice, where he scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in 30 domestic league appearances during the 2025/2026 season. His contract with the club runs until June 2027, and his current market value is €500k, according to Transfermarkt.
