David Jurásek (born 7 August 2000) is a Czech professional
Club career
Early career
Jurásek began his career in the academy at Dolní Němčí, later moving to Slovácko and then to Zbrojovka Brno.[1]
He made his professional debut for Zbrojovka Brno in a 0–0 draw against Dukla Prague on 1 July 2020, replacing Ondřej Vaněk as a substitute in the final minute.[2] After six Czech National Football League appearances for the club, Jurásek signed for Prostějov in July 2020. At Prostějov, Jurásek made 25 league appearances, scoring three times, before signing for Czech First League club Mladá Boleslav in July 2021.[1] Upon joining Mladá Boleslav, Jurásek told Prostějov-based newspaper Prostějovský Večerník that his time in the second tier with Prostějov had been instrumental in earning a move to Mladá Boleslav.[3] On 21 August 2021, Jurásek made his debut in the Czech First League, starting in a 3–1 win against Teplice.[4]
Slavia Prague
On 10 February 2022, following one goal and two assists in 15 league games, Slavia Prague announced Jurásek and fellow Mladá Boleslav teammate Daniel Fila had signed for the club, with the pair both signing contracts until June 2026.[5]
Benfica
On 10 July 2023, Jurásek signed a five-year contract with Portuguese side Benfica, in a deal totalling €14 million. His release clause was set at €80 million.[6] He made his debut for the club on 9 August, in the Supertaça Cândido de Oliveira coming off the bench to replace Mihailo Ristić at half-time in a 2–0 win over rivals Porto.[7] Five days later, Jurásek made his first start for Benfica and Primeira Liga debut in a 3–2 loss away at Boavista. At the end of the match, he suffered an ankle injury[8] and got subsequently sidelined for a month.[9] Jurásek made his UEFA Champions League debut on 3 October 2023, coming on as a substitute in the 79th minute of a 1–0 loss away at Inter Milan, in the competition's group stage.[10]
Hoffenheim (loan)
On 22 January 2024, Benfica sent Jurásek on loan to Bundesliga club TSG Hoffenheim until the end of the season, with an optional buy-clause reported to be €11 million, which could rise to €12 million with add-ons.[11][12][13]
International career
On 4 April 2017, Jurásek made his debut for the Czech Republic's under-17 side, playing in a 4–1 win against Belgium. Four years later, he earned his second youth cap for the Czech Republic, representing the under-21 team in a 3–0 win against Kosovo.[14]
On 24 March 2023, Jurásek debuted for the Czech senior team in UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying match against Poland.[15]
