“I am extremely happy about this transfer – explained Peter Kováčik – When I learned that a personality like Cesc Fabregas works in the club, it was an incredible feeling for me. Football fans know what kind of player he was and what he achieved. I’m looking forward to working with him and the whole club.”
Miroslav Poliaček, general director of the club said on the club’s official website: “This is an important thing for Podbrezová and for all of Slovakian football. A player from a small Slovakian club, which is not one of the top clubs in the country, arrives in Italy and directly to Serie A. Peter is an adopted son of the club, which makes everything even more beautiful. It won’t be easy for us to replace him, but that’s exactly why we play football, to help players like him get to big football. We are delighted that we have been able to do the job to give a club a really big chance in football. I believe he won’t be the last Podbrezova player to move this way. We thank him for everything he has done.”
