Ondřej Lingr returns to Slavia
The transfer fee for the 25-year-old international midfielder is 2.2 million euros.
“The opportunity to acquire Ondra under very favorable financial conditions arose. We didn’t hesitate, and we believe he will continue to deliver the excellent performances he showcased in our jersey. We are gaining a player with a winning mentality, an immediate reinforcement who knows our environment and system. The coaching team knows exactly what to expect from him. We hope he will significantly contribute to achieving our goals on the domestic scene as well as in Europe,” says Slavia’s sporting director Jiří Bílek.
“My goal is to once again become an important member of the team, as I was before I left. But much more important to me are Slavia’s goals. Slavia comes first. I will do everything as I did before I left, to help the team in any situation, whether on the pitch or off it. I would love to bring the league trophy back to Eden and help Slavia to the title and the best results in the Europa League,” says returning player Ondřej Lingr.
