Slavia Prague centre-back Stepán Chaloupek has attracted attention from several European clubs, including Hull City, Ipswich Town, and Benfica. The sports portal ISport claims Benfica is preparing an offer of around €12 million, a figure that is likely below Slavia Prague's asking price. Slavia's coach, Jindrich Trpisovsky, has commented that while another season at the club would be beneficial for the player, an approach from a club like Benfica would be impossible to reject.
