Benfica want Lukas Hornícek, but player rejects Premier League bid

Lukas Hornícek, 24, is a target this window, yet he has rebuffed interest and remains focused on Braga.

Braga received a concrete approach from a Premier League club, which Hornícek declined. A Bola reports that Hull City bid €30 million, matching the release clause in a contract running to summer 2028.

Porto have also shown interest, but for now Hornícek has given no sign he wants to leave Minho.

He made his senior debut for the Czech Republic on 31 May in a friendly against Kosovo. He was named in the 2026 World Cup squad, although he did not feature.

Benfica’s interest comes amid uncertainty over Trubin’s situation.
