Abdulrasheed Musa has completed a permanent move from Czech side FC Slovan Velvary to Slovak club Zolik Malacky, joining on a free transfer. The Nigeria international centre-back, 24, arrives in Slovakia after his contract at Velvary ended, allowing Malacky to secure his services without a transfer fee.
Contract start: 2026-02-11
Contract end: Unknown
The switch marks Musa’s first move into Slovak football and continues a career spent entirely in Europe since leaving Nigeria. There is no recorded market value attached to the deal, underlining that Malacky have taken advantage of an economical opportunity to strengthen the heart of their defence with an experienced yet still developing central defender.
Musa’s move brings to an end his spell at Velvary, who compete in the Czech football system. He had joined them from FK Robstav, another Czech club, in a standard transfer, and his latest switch represents a step into a new league structure, listed as N/A in the available data, within Slovak football. With no fee changing hands, Velvary also see a squad place and wage slot freed, while Malacky add depth and flexibility to their back line.
Born in Nigeria on 02 November 2001, Musa has built a varied CV across Czech clubs since arriving in Europe from Right2Win Sports Academy. After leaving Nigerian side IB Sports Dreams FC for Right2Win, he moved to FC Hlinsko in the Czech Republic, then earned a transfer to MFK Chrudim. From there, he experienced both loan and permanent moves, first heading on loan to FK Zbuzany 1953 and later joining them outright.
His development continued with a transfer to FC SILON Taborsko, followed by a loan spell at FC Pisek, before returning to Taborsko at the end of that loan. Subsequent moves to FK Robstav and then Velvary maintained his presence in Czech football’s lower divisions, where he accumulated valuable minutes as a central defender and learned to adapt to different tactical approaches and club environments. The data does not provide detailed appearance or statistical records, but his repeated recruitment by professional clubs across the Czech system indicates a defender trusted to operate at competitive levels.
Primarily a centre-back, Musa has consistently been listed as a defender and has not been recorded in other positions, suggesting that Malacky see him as a specialist for the central defensive role rather than a utility option. His Nigerian nationality also means he will be counted as a foreign player in Slovakia, further highlighting the club’s intention to import specific qualities rather than simply fill a squad place.
With this confirmed move, Musa now embarks on a new chapter in Slovak football. If he can establish himself as a regular at Zolik Malacky, the transfer has the potential to raise his profile beyond the Czech leagues and shape the next phase of his career in European football.
