Former Blues keeper Vaclav Hladky is reported to have been offered a two-year deal by Championship Burnley, but is tipped to join Jablonec in Czechia.

Hladky, 33, left Town at the start of the month having been unable to agree terms on a new deal.

According to iSport.cz, the Clarets made Hladky a two-year contract on better terms than were on offer at Portman Road.

However, they report it’s likely he could instead end up at Czech top-flight side Jablonec, despite the deal there being worth less than the Turf Moor terms.

Burnley are in need of a new keeper with Arijanet Muric close to joining the Blues in a deal worth £8 million plus £2 million in top-ups.

Hladky is understood to have turned down the chance to join Banik Ostrava, while Slavia Prague have also been linked.

Elsewhere, Town are among a number of clubs linked with a potential season-loan loan move for Venezia midfielder Tanner Tessmann should the US international join Inter Milan, as is expected to be the case.

The 22-year-old is also claimed to have loan interest from Feyenoord.

Meanwhile, ex-Town striker Joe Pigott, 30, has returned to AFC Wimbledon, his club prior to his spell with the Blues, on a season-long loan from Leyton Orient.

HopefulBlue69 added 14:16 - Jul 15 This all seems a bit strange... We're talking about paying £8M for a GK that Burnley wanted to replace with Vlad. Paying him more than we were prepared to do. Surely better biz to pay him a bit more and keep the £8M in our pocket...

Bluepool added 14:19 - Jul 15 I find Vaz's situation intriguing, I can only guess that town offered him just a one year contract, seems he is being particularly fussy about what he wants which could end up him shooting himself in the foot. His choice I guess

Monkey_Blue added 14:27 - Jul 15 We don’t know what Hladky was offered by us. There are so many factors to take into account for players in terms of what’s best for their career, financial security, family and general happiness. I can’t think that he doesn’t have his defendable reasons for decisions he making. As for Muric, we are signing a young keeper who’s had a pretty successful career in England so far and has tremendous physical attributes. One good season with us and he could be a £20m plus player, Hladky wouldn’t have that sort of resale value no matter how well he did for us.

blues1 added 14:36 - Jul 15 Hopefulblue69. Je wanted a 3xyeqr deal, the club would only offered 2 years. So it may well be that thats the deal Burnley are offering him. Not necessarily offering him more money. Indeed, doubt they are.

Cambsrover14 added 14:42 - Jul 15 If you think you are getting Szmodics for 6m you are all deluded. He is worth 15-20m all day long. 6m might get his right foot. Lol 6m pmsl

Linkboy13 added 15:04 - Jul 15 Burnley don't want to get rid of Muric he's want's to go to a Premier league club which is understandable and they want to replace him with a championship keeper Hladky. Not to difficult to work out really is it.

Danishtractor added 15:10 - Jul 15 Meanwhile, the EADT and Ipswich Star understands that reports Town have been in talks with Blackburn Rovers regarding forward Sammie Szmodics are misleading. Contact was initiated from the player's camp, with it understood that the 28-year-old doesn't fit the club's recruitment profile.

blues1 added 15:21 - Jul 15 Danishtractor. The eadt understands? Means nothing. Everyone knows the club don't do their transfer business through the media. Proving to be a bit harder this year mind you, with us being in the pl

blues1 added 15:23 - Jul 15 Cambsrover14. £15-20m. Based on what? 1 good goalscoring season? And no pl experience? Dont think so.

JewellintheTown added 15:45 - Jul 15 Cambsrover14 - seems his debatable value is between €3.4 million and €7 million depending on sources. Almost 29yrs now. Where did you see or arrive at the £15-20M figure?

MK1 added 16:20 - Jul 15 We needed an upgrade and I think we will have one. Good luck to Hladky, I thank him for last season and wish him all the best.

Bert added 16:27 - Jul 15 He has gone so it's up to him where he goes and why. Back home or to Burnley.

Cambsrover14 added 18:55 - Jul 15 But you were all saying you were getting him for 6m plus add-ons. Rovers want 15m simple as that. He done for all at Peterborough we took a chance on him and got rewarded with 27 league goals and 33 in all competitions. ABIT like Adam Armstrong he had one good season and we got 18m for him so if you want Szmodics pay up the asking price.

Cambsrover14 added 19:00 - Jul 15 The Sun reports that Rovers are readying a bumper new contract for the impressive midfielder but, should he not accept, a transfer could be sanctioned. The Championship club values the player at around £20 million
