Wolves official: Girona central defender Kreić joins on loan with 7 million euros, buys out 23 million

Hupu, August 28th, Wolves officially announced that they have completed the loan signing of Girona defender Ladislav Kreic, and he will become the first Czech player in the club's history.

The 26-year-old central defender is also competent for the midfield and has experience in nearly 250 professional games. If certain terms are triggered, he will automatically become a Wolves player and the two sides will sign until 2030.

The 6-foot-3-inch (about 1.93 meters) point guard started playing football in his motherland Czech Republic when he was 17 years old. He honed at the Brnoz Broyofka Club, made more than 50 appearances, scored his first adult team goal, and continued to improve in the national team's lineup of all ages.

Transfer to Sparta Prague in 2019 marked his steady progress and experienced the charm of European football for the first time through the Czech Cup and won the trophy – one of four championships he won with his new team.

The defender made his first appearance for the Czech national team against Poland in March 2022 and scored the fastest goal in the history of the Czech national team - one of only three goals the Czech national team has so far. Last summer, he participated in all three games of the Czech national team's 2024 European Cup.

By the summer of 2022, the defender was named Spartan captain and helped the team win its first championship in nine years in his first year as captain, and he was also named Player of the season in that class.
