Górnik Zabrze was interested in signing 31-year-old Tomáš Chorý and made contact about a potential transfer. The forward was removed from the Slavia Prague squad. He had league statistics of seventeen goals and five assists. His removal was not for sporting reasons but was due to incidents after a derby against Sparta Prague, during which he elbowed an opponent and reportedly caused a disturbance in the tunnel. The coaching staff attempted to persuade the club to change its position, but president Jaroslav Tvrdík did not change his stance and publicly confirmed the player's suspension. The potential transfer to Górnik Zabrze did not proceed because of the player's financial demands. Chorý's base salary is approximately 40,000 euro, and his total earnings are increased by high bonuses for points won in the league and Champions League, which made the financial package unaffordable for the Polish club. The Czech international, who has 21 caps and 6 goals for his country, is not willing to lower his salary expectations. Chorý joined Slavia Prague in July 2024 for a reported fee of €3.0M, and his contract is valid until June 2027. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €3.00m. Besides Górnik Zabrze, Legia Warszawa, Sigma Olomouc, and Pardubice have been recently linked with the striker.
