In recent weeks, Turkish second-division side Bandırmaspor engaged in advanced negotiations to sign 29-year-old Slovakian centre-forward Samuel Mráz from Servette FC. The club from Bandırma reached an agreement with the former Motor Lublin player, but the transfer ultimately did not happen. Bandırmaspor had also secured a deal with Gianni Bruno and ultimately chose him, which resulted in the cancellation of Mráz's move. It had also been reported in May that GKS Katowice held an interest in the player. Mráz, who joined Servette in July 2025, has a contract with the club until June 2027. He has 12 caps and one goal for Slovakia and a current Transfermarkt market value of €1.00m.
