The Ibadan-born forward would leave his current club, Slavia Prague, at the end of the season.  

He signed for Slavia in the summer of 2018 for a fee in the region of €3.2 million, and his contract expires in six months, making him eligible to negotiate with other clubs on a pre-contract agreement.

Olayinka has now exercised that right and will be leaving the Czech giants at the end of June, and he will officially be a player for the Serbian SuperLiga side the next day.
