Pompey place £1.3m bid for Mate Tuboly
Tuboly’s eye-catching displays for Dunajska Streda and at international level for Hungary have put Pompey on red alert as John Mousinho looks to bolster his engine room.
And it appears the Blues are looking to make the first move to secure the Hungary under-21 captain’s services, with a reported seven-figure offer placed to secure his services.
Tuboly amassed 35 appearances in all competitions at the DAC Arena last term, netting two goals and collecting two assists as Branislav Fodrek’s men secured a second-placed finish in the Nike Liga.
The classy operator still has two years to run on his current terms Dunajska Streda, having penned fresh terms to extend his stay last October.
It was reported on Monday morning that a deal for the 22-year-old was off after the Blues were said to be in ‘advanced talks’ earlier this month.
The FC Volendam talent was expected to be available on a free transfer this summer following their relegation from the Eredivisie last term.
Yah featured 26 times during his maiden campaign at the Kras Stadium following his switch from FC Utrecht 12 months ago.
But that picture has since changed, with Tuboly now believed to be in the frame following Pompey’s reported seven-figure bid.
Pompey’s midfield options
Tuboly fits the bill, with Mousinho looking to add another holding midfielder into his ranks during the window.
Marlon Pack and Luke Le Roux can operate in that position already, although the 35-year-old’s action is set to be reduced next season.
Meanwhile, Ebou Adams is expected to fill the number eight role following Andre Dozzell’s departure at the end of the campaign.
The 30-year-old is poised to be a front-line figure in Mousinho’s engine room next term after impressing following his January arrival.
Tuboly’s fellow countryman Mark Kosznovszky still remains sidelined due to a serious knee injury, which was sustained in December 2025. The Hungarian isn’t expected to complete his comeback until later this year.
