Barcik wants to join Dunfermline

Present club MSK Zilina rejected an offer for the player in January, but he is a free agent in the summer. Agent Jozef Tokos said: "Obviously, it would be important to Miroslav that Dunfermline stay in the top competition, but that is where he wants to go."

Barcik had impressed Dunfermline manager Davie Hay while on trial with the Scottish Premier League outfit. "Miroslav was over for four days and he really liked everything about Dunfermline," said his agent.

"We watched the Scottish Cup game against East Fife but had to return as no agreement could be struck with his current club.

"Since then, the process of negotiation has resumed." Hay has expressed his desire to tie Barcik to a pre-contract agreement ahead of next season.
