He returned to Slovan Bratislava in summer 2023 on loan with an option to buy, which the club activated in May 2024, giving him a four-year contract. In the first half of the 2024–25 Slovak First Football League, Strelec scored 11 times in 19 matches. On 5 November 2024, he scored the opening goal in a 1-4 defeat against GNK Dinamo in the UEFA Champions League.

In March 2021, Strelec received his first call-up to Slovak senior national team by Štefan Tarkovič for three 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against Cyprus, Malta, and Russia. He made his debut on 24 March in a goalless draw against Cyprus, replacing Ondrej Duda after 83 minutes.
