České Budějovice make their move for Tomáš Vlček
$1.6M on the table at Slavia Prague. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Too dear: České Budějovice walk away from Salim Fago Lawal
$2.1M was the most the club would pay and Viktoria Plzen were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Jablonec tell České Budějovice: Hugo Ahl is not for sale

Lukas Coufal steps up from the České Budějovice academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lukas Coufal has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
In brief
- Squad Victor Udoh signs a new deal
- Squad Jan Sýkora has outgrown this division
- Squad 12 new faces, and České Budějovice are still learning each other
