Újpest FC are being linked with a move for Nigerian centre-forward Muhamed Tijani, who is rumoured to be available to leave Slavia Praha amid uncertainty over his contract situation.
The 25-year-old, currently listed with Hungarian side Nyíregyháza Spartacus and wearing the number 26 shirt, is the subject of fresh speculation over a switch within Hungary’s top flight, from Slavia Praha via Nyíregyháza to NB I. club Újpest. The latest reports, logged on 18 May 2026, give no clear probability for the deal, with the likelihood of any move marked simply as “?”.
Tijani, born on 26 July 2000 and standing at 1.91m, is valued at around €400,000 on Transfermarkt, a figure likely to appeal to Újpest as they look for cost-effective attacking options. Primarily a centre-forward and right-footed, he has been deployed through the middle in an orthodox No 9 role.
His contractual status is currently unclear, with no expiry date listed for his deal at Nyíregyháza Spartacus. That has fuelled suggestions in local media that he could become a free agent or be available at a reduced fee should his agreement with his parent or previous club, Slavia Praha, have run down or been terminated.
Recent match data for Tijani is limited in the public record, with no specific fixture-by-fixture breakdown or standout individual display recorded in the latest update. However, his presence in Central European football, moving between the Czech and Hungarian systems, underlines his experience across different leagues and his adaptation to a physical, tactical style of play.
With his market value modest by modern standards and his contractual picture opaque, Újpest’s reported interest is likely to persist while the possibility of a free transfer remains. If the move materialises, it could offer Tijani a fresh platform in NB I. to reassert his potential and reshape the next phase of his career.
