Struber Wants Radek Vitek to Stay Next Season, With Man United Controlling His Future

The on-loan goalkeeper is under contract at Old Trafford until 2028, leaving City to weigh another loan against signing a new No 1.

Overview

  • Gerhard Struber says Manchester United are in the driver's seat over Radek Vitek's next move and believes a further year at Ashton Gate would aid his development.
  • Vitek has been Bristol City's first-choice this season with 33 Championship appearances, 44 goals conceded and nine clean sheets.
  • United handed Vitek a new three-year deal before sending him out and chose not to activate a January recall clause.
  • With Max O'Leary sold to West Brom, Bristol City face a summer goalkeeper decision, as Joe Lumley is the only senior keeper contracted and Lewis Thomas has an option.
  • Struber expects Vitek to attract international interest in the summer, which could complicate City's hopes of keeping him.
