Lukáš Haraslín (born 26 May 1996) is a Slovak professional footballer who plays as a winger for Sparta Prague and the Slovakia national team.

Club career[edit]

Parma[edit]

Haraslín debuted with Parma in Primavera against Juventus on 2 November 2013, coming on as a substitute for Marco Boscolo Zemelo in the 54th minute.[citation needed] He came on as a substitute for Marco Boscolo Zemelo in the 54th minute. Parma lost the game 2–3. Just a week later Haraslín was already a part of the starting line-up for a 1–0 victory over Bologna. However, his season was cut short by an injury that would rule him out between January and March 2014, leading to only nine starts during the season. Despite this, by the end of the season, Haraslín managed to score his first two goals against Modena in a 5–0 win, on 12 April 2014.

In the subsequent season, Haraslín played over twice as many games (20), scoring 9 goals, particularly between November and January, when he scored in 5 of 7 games he started, tallying a total of 7 goals. This won him promotion for the senior team as he made an Italian senior side and Serie A debut on 1 February 2015 against Milan.[1] On 1 February 2015, soccerway.com</ref> Haraslín replaced Silvestre Varela in the 77th minute of the 1–3 loss at San Siro. The same year in May, Haraslín returned to the senior team, as he substituted Abdelkader Ghezzal, in a match against Fiorentina (0–3 loss).

Lechia Gdańsk[edit]

2015–16[edit]

On 7 July 2015, Haraslín joined Lechia Gdańsk on a three-year deal, although an apparent interest was reported from numerous clubs, yet some only requested Haraslín on a loan.[2]

Haraslín debuted for Lechia Gdańsk on 16 August 2015 a wild 3–3 tie against Wisła Kraków.[citation needed] Although Haraslín was only fielded in the second half, coming on as a substitute for Bruno Nazário, he scored just after six minutes on the pitch, setting the score to 2–2. The following week, Haraslín scored 2 in a 3–1 win over Górnik Łęczna. In late October Haraslín suffered an injury that kept him out of action until early December. After he returned, he played in almost all of the games, although mostly as a substitute. He completed the season with 3 goals in 20 games.

2016–17[edit]

At the beginning of the 2017–18 season it was announced the Haraslín had extended his contract with Lechia. The new deal was a two-year one, set to expire in June 2020.[3]

2018–19[edit]

During the 2018–19 Ekstraklasa, in addition to 4 league goals, Haraslín scored his first Polish Cup goal in a second round 3–1 victory over Resovia Rzeszów, after a pass from Jarosław Kubicki. Unlike in the league, Lechia managed to triumph in this competition, beating Jagiellonia Białystok 1–0 in the final. Haraslín played the entire match at Warsaw's Stadion Narodowy. While this was Haraslín's first trophy in Poland, his fellow Slovak goalkeeper Dušan Kuciak won his fifth cup trophy this season.[4] The victory made Lechia eligible for a 2nd qualifying round of the Europa League, with Gdańsk hosting the final of that edition.

At the end of 2018, Haraslín was named Lechia's fan-favourite.[5] In January 2019, it was reported that Galatasaray had notable interest in Haraslín's services,[6] yet even Inter Milan, A.S. Roma, Atalanta Bergamo and Dijon were reportedly interested.[7]

However, the transfer did not advance as Lechia was in a battle for the championship. In an article published on 17 May 2019, Michał Gałęzewski stated that Lechia appears to lack a replacement for Haraslín and while a move was expectable and comprehensible, he noted it may not happen.[8]

Even due to an injury and poor performances in late May, Rafał Sumowski from Troj Miato also stated that it seemed to lack future potential employers.[9] Haraslín started in Polish Cup final game against Jagiellonia Białystok playing most of the game as Lechia won the cup.[10] Haraslín also played an important role during the 2018–19 season as Lechia finished third in the season, Lechia's joint highest finish in the league.[11]

2019–20[edit]

The 2019–20 season saw Lechia qualify for the 2019–20 UEFA Europa League and saw them play in the Polish SuperCup. Haraslín scored twice in the SuperCup final as Lechia beat Piast Gliwice 3–1.[12][13] In the Europa League Lechia were drawn against Brøndby IF.[14] Haraslín played in both games as Lechia lost the tie 5–3 on aggregate.[15][16] Haraslín made his 100th appearance for Lechia in July 2019 against Wisła Kraków.[17][18] In total Haraslín made 121 appearances for Lechia with 16 goals in all competitions.

Sassuolo[edit]

In January 2020, Haraslín went on loan to Italian side Sassuolo, with the club having an obligation to buy at the end of the loan period.[19]

Sparta Prague[edit]

In August 2021, Haraslín went on loan to Czech side Sparta Prague with an option to buy at the end of the loan period.[20] On 23 February 2024, he signed permanently a new multi-year contract.[21]

International career[edit]

Youth[edit]

For over two years, Haraslín was listed as an alternate in the national team nominations. This trend began under Ján Kozák and continued for the first two nominations under Pavel Hapal.[22]

On 28 May 2019, Haraslín was called up for a June home friendly against Jordan, to which 29 players were called-up and a UEFA Euro 2020 qualifying fixture against Azerbaijan, played away on 11 June 2019. The squad would be reduced to 23 players for the latter fixture.[23] Hapal was the coach who brought Bénes into public eye in Slovakia, during the successful 2017 UEFA U-21 Euro campaign. Subsequently, the core of the U21 squad became known as Hapal's children, including Haraslín himself.[24]

Senior[edit]

Debut[edit]

Haraslín debuted against Jordan at the Štadión Antona Malatinského in Trnava on 7 June 2019. Although Miroslav Stoch played on the right wing in the first half, Hapal had fielded Haraslín for the second half, among other changes, as Slovakia was one down after a counter-attack goal by Musa Al-Taamari.[25] However, Haraslín quickly changed the offensive dynamics for Slovakia, scoring an early equaliser in his debut match, after less than 5 minutes on the pitch, by a solo through the defensive line, which followed a pass from Ján Greguš, beating Jordanian veteran international Amer Shafi with a right foot shot. As Haraslín utilised his speed against the tiring Jordanian defenders, who had just recently completed the fasting of Ramadan,[26] he created a penalty shot opportunity for Greguš, as he was fouled by Ihsan Haddad. Greguš converted the penalty to set the score to 3–1 (Martin Chrien scored the second goal). It was later revealed in the replay that Haraslín was fouled outside of the penalty area. Harašlín collected another impressive assist less than five minutes later, as he found himself in the corner of the pitch in a one-on-one situation against Bara' Marei and he managed to cross the ball into the area, with his back to the goal. The ball had bounced in front of Róbert Boženík, but was netted by Samuel Mráz within 60 seconds of his arrival onto the pitch. Mihalík's goal later on had concluded the score at 5–1.[27] After the match, it was agreed in the media and among the fans that Haraslín deserved the unofficial title of the man of the match in his debut. He impressed Hapal enough to guarantee him an extra spot in the reduced nomination for the Baku fixture on 11 June, as Hapal removed one less player than he had promised.[28]

UEFA Euro 2020[edit]

Haraslín continued with the Slovak senior team after Hapal's dismissal under Štefan Tarkovič and was a part of Slovak Euro 2020 squad. Following Tarkovič's dismissal and arrival of Francesco Calzona, Haraslín was initially left out due to injury and subsequent low play-time.[citation needed]

However, in December 2022, he was called up for senior national team prospective players' training camp at NTC Senec as one of the experienced leading players in the squad due to his previous absence last autumn.[29] With praise from Calzona for his recent form, Haraslín returned ahead of two home qualifiers against Luxembourg and Bosnia and Herzegovina.[30]

Personal life[edit]

On 27 October 2020, Haraslín tested positive for COVID-19 amid its outbreak in Italy.[31]
