Premier League checks ramp up around Pavel Sulc
Several Premier League clubs are showing interest in Pavel Sulc, with Leeds United maintaining their pursuit after tracking him last summer. Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest and Bournemouth have also checked on the Czech attacker in recent weeks.
Who is Pavel Sulc
Sulc is a Czech attacking midfielder (born 29.12.2000) who has been playing for Olympique Lyonnais since 2025 and is also a Czech Republic international. His profile is built around final-third productivity – receiving between the lines, arriving in scoring areas, and functioning as a modern No.10/advanced No.8 depending on the system.
The agent angle: Andy Bara and Niagara Sports
Sulc is represented by Andy Bara and Niagara Sports Company, an agency with a strong international footprint and a track record in high-profile moves.
We previously covered Bara’s interview on the Livesport Daily podcast, where he discussed Šulc’s ceiling and market value logic based on performance and trajectory.
Bara’s €40m–€50m projection if the trajectory holds
Bara has floated a striking projection if Šulc’s output continues, saying:
“If he continues like this – and I think he will – then not this summer, around the World Cup, but the summer after, we can expect a big transfer for Pavel, maybe €40m–€50m.
“Because he’s the kind of player who can take the next step after Lyon. What’s the limit? He can play for any club. If he can do it at Lyon – and they’re flying in Europe in the competition they’re playing – then why should we put a limit on him? He’s one of their best players, so any club can take him after that.”
If the interest is real and sustained, as TEAMtalk reported, the next steps usually follow a clear pattern: more club checks, informal conversations with the player’s camp, and then clarity on whether Lyon are open to talks this summer or see Šulc as a longer-term asset. With Niagara and Bara already framing a “bigger transfer” timeline, this could be a story that builds through 2026 rather than resolving immediately.
