Overview
- Reports on June 24–25 linked 22‑year‑old Radek Vitek with promoted Premier League sides Hull City, Coventry City and Ipswich Town after his strong loan season at Bristol City.
- Vitek kept 12 clean sheets in 41 Championship appearances for Bristol City and has told reports he wants regular first‑team football rather than a backup role at Manchester United.
- Manchester United are open to either selling Vitek or sanctioning a loan if he signs a new contract, leaving the club able to demand a transfer fee.
- Hull’s pursuit has reportedly receded because the clubs cannot agree a fee, making a short‑term move to the MKM Stadium unlikely and prompting Hull to open talks for alternatives such as Lukas Hornicek.
- With promoted clubs widening their searches for goalkeepers, Vitek’s next destination remains unresolved and his decision will shape both his development and United’s goalkeeping plans for the coming season.
