Martin Vitík

Martin Vitík of Bologna was born in Beroun, Czech Republic on 21 January 2003 (age 23).

Martin Vitík, born on 21 January 2003 (age 23), is a Czech central defender now with Bologna. At a commanding 6ft 4in (1.92m), he is built for the position, though his career so far has been shaped less by physical promise than by the volume of first-team football he accumulated early at Sparta Prague.

Sparta is where his senior profile was properly made. Across five seasons he played 109 league matches and scored 10 league goals, a substantial return for a centre-back still in the early part of his career. His strongest attacking season came in 2023–24, when he scored four times in 27 league appearances.

The move to Bologna took him into Serie A, where he has remained involved rather than drifting to the margins. In 2025–26 he has made 19 Serie A appearances, along with one in the Coppa Italia and 10 in the Europa League, giving him 30 appearances in all competitions for the club without a goal.

His market value is around £8.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Vitík’s career remains anchored by his Sparta Prague years, but his regular role at Bologna shows he is still building on that base at a higher level.

Vitík made 19 Serie A appearances for Bologna in 2025-26, starting 14, and added 10 Europa League outings plus one in the Coppa Italia. The absence of goals and only three bookings point to a centre-back used for defensive minutes rather than set-piece output, but 30 appearances across all competitions show he was part of the rotation rather than a fringe signing.

Vitík's senior path has been concentrated rather than nomadic: Sparta Prague developed him after his 2018 trainee move, then Bologna took him into Serie A at 23. The record shows 10 goals across his Sparta seasons from 2020-21 to 2024-25, including four in both 2023-24 and 2024-25, before a first Bologna year built on minutes rather than scoring.

The transfer history shows a clear upward step: trainee recruitment into Sparta Prague in 2018, then a €9.5m move to Bologna in July 2025. That fee, alongside a listed market value of €10.00m, frames him as a significant investment rather than a low-risk depth addition.
