Vratislav Greško (born 24 July 1977) is a retired Slovak footballer who recently played for the Fortuna Liga club Podbrezová. His preferred position was left-back. He was an attacking full-back widely known for his crossing ability.
Greško began his career at Dukla Banská Bystrica in 1995, before he was signed by Inter Bratislava in 1997 where he played until 1999.
He moved to Bayer Leverkusen in 1999.
In October 2000, he signed a four–year contract with Internazionale for a fee of €4.857 million (exactly 9.5 million Deutsche Mark), which media reported a difference figure from 9 billion lire (€4.65 million) to 14 billion lire (€7.23 million) Greško is still the only Slovak who played for Inter. He made his league debut on 1 November 2000 in a 2–0 victory against Roma. On 5 May 2002, during the last week of the 2001–02 season, Greško headed the ball to Karel Poborský, allowing him to score in a 2–4 defeat against Lazio. After the match, he was heavily criticised for the error, which led to Inter losing the scudetto. His performance at Inter Milan was "firm" and "erratic". He spent only eighteen months between November 2000 and June 2002, making a total of 41 league appearances.
A swap deal was also made between Internazionale and Parma in June 2002, which saw Greško make a switch for Matías Almeyda, both players were tagged for €16 million The deal was a financial success than a good deal for the team performance.
