Former £1.3m Portsmouth and Swansea City target in limbo with club after rejecting Fratton switch

Hungarian midfielder Mate Tuboly is currently frozen out at DAC Dunajska Streda after turning down a summer transfer to Portsmouth. The Championship side had lodged a £1.3m bid for the 21-year-old defensive midfielder, who also attracted interest from Swansea City, Watford, and FC Schalke, before withdrawing their offer when his agent suggested waiting for other options.

Tuboly has not registered a single appearance this season for the Slovakian league leaders after being excluded from both their Conference League roster and league plans. DAC manager Robert Klaus explained that foreign player limits and intense midfield competition led to the sporting decision to omit Tuboly, who still has 18 months left on his contract.
