Tomas Vaclik It has been in the Sevilla news in recent weeks for several reasons. Among them, the Czech goalkeeper who once played for Sevilla went to see his former teammate Jesús Navas play his last game at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, ensuring that he felt happy to be able to be there accompanying the palace legend, the who gave days later a very special gift in the form of a stadium, a high jewelry mini-stadium in which Navas occupies one of Nervión’s backgrounds with a gigantic banner.

Now, the former Albacete goalkeeper has revealed a very curious matter in a recent interview. And Vaclik has recognized that Flic’s Barcelonak had it under the magnifying glass at the time when Laporta’s men had to go to the transfer market due to the serious knee injury suffered by Ter Stegen. Beyond the fact that they finally opted for Szczesny, the former Sevilla goalkeeper assures that he was also among the candidates to occupy the local goal of Montjuic.

At least this is what Vaclik has stated in the Polish media TVPsport, where he reported that at 35 years old he is still a free agent to be able to sign for the club that wants to acquire his services. «I was aware of the situation because they also took me into account. In the end, they opted for Szczesny, who won the Super Cup and is showing his quality. “As for Robert Lewandowski, he is still an elite striker,” Vaclik stated in another vein.

The Czech goalkeeper had words for his part to talk about all the good things he had to experience in Nervión, without also forgetting the bad moments. «Without a doubt, Sevilla was the peak of my career. Before I won titles at Sparta Prague and Basel, but what we achieved at Sánchez-Pizjuán was special. Winning the Europa League and competing against the greats of Spain was a huge source of pride,” Vaclik said in the aforementioned Polish media.
