Report: Borek Dockal set for return to Sparta Prague?

TRANSFER TRACKER: Report

Borek Dockal captured the MLS assist title in his first season with the Philadelphia Union, but will he be moving elsewhere in the offseason?

Reports out of the Czech Republic claim Dockal could be returning to Sparta Prague, where he played from 2013-17.

Sparta Prague wants to re-sign Borek Dockal.

More significantly, Dockal seems interested in going back, and his agent met with the club last month.

And even more significantly than that, Dockal is currently training with Sparta to pass some time with the Union’s season over. https://t.co/gjm3JfUnt7

The 30-year-old scored five goals and 18 assists in 31 MLS regular season appearances this year for the Union. Signed as a Designated Player on loan from Chinese club Henan Jianye, the Union have acknowledged Dockal’s return for 2019 wasn’t yet secured, but technical director Ernst Tanner said last month that the team was hopeful they would be able to bring the playmaker back.
