Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dúbravka has emerged as a new target for Slavia Prague in the summer.
The Slovakia international spent over seven years at Newcastle United and left them for Burnley in August 2025.
Scott Parker’s side secured promotion to the Premier League and were in search of a new stopper.
Burnley immediately made him their No.1, and he’s started in all 31 league matches so far, keeping four clean sheets and conceding 61 goals.
His Premier League statistics for the Clarets are as follows:
Shots on target faced: 166
Saves: 111
Save percentage: 66.9%
Clean sheet percentage: 12.9%
The 37-year-old’s form for the English club has still managed him to attract interest from Slavia Prague.
Burnley man on Czech shortlist
Slavia Prague have Jindřich Staněk, Jakub Markovič and Ondrej Kolar as their stoppers, and Markovič took advantage of minutes when Staněk was sidelined with an injury.
Staněk’s agent David Zíka recently said he wants to move to a top five league after this season. Therefore, the Czech club are now looking for a new goalkeeper.
According to iSport, they have Burnley’s Martin Dúbravka in their shortlist. Slavia Prague have already done business with the Clarets when they signed Oliver Sonne on loan in the winter market.
The goalkeeper’s contract expires in June and there’s belief he will leave Turf Moor in the summer as the Clarets are most likely to drop to the Championship.
The Slovakian previously had a spell with Sparta Prague [2017/18] and could look to return to the city with Slavia.
His addition to the squad would ‘be a bet on proven quality’, but he won’t be a guaranteed starter. However, a final decision will depend on how Staněk’s injury situation develops.
Dúbravka’s salary of 5m crowns per month [€200k] is a problem for Slavia. In addition to this, they could face competition from other clubs for his signature.
Stopper’s future away from Burnley
With a contract expiring at the end of this season, Martin Dúbravka’s future will be away from the Premier League side.
He’s already spent nine years in England, where he’s had spells with Newcastle United, Manchester United and Burnley.
The possibility of the goalkeeper extending his stay in the UK by joining another club can’t be ruled out. As of now, there has been no concrete claims of interest from another club.
