Esteemed for his exceptional skills on the field, the striker's current market value stands at around £3.5m, as reported by Transfermarkt. Strelec's existing contract with Slovan Bratislava is secure until the 30th of June 2028, providing him with 3 years and 4 months of assured playtime with the club.
