The Borussia Monchengladbach forward is heading for a medical with FC Hradec Kralove after a verbal agreement was reached over a season-long loan, according to Sky Germany reporter Florian Plettenberg.
It represents a surprise destination for the 26-year-old, who had been linked with Danish champions AGF Aarhus last month.
Cvancara remains under contract with Gladbach for another two years, but is now poised to spend another campaign away from the Bundesliga club.
Hradec Kralove finished fourth in the Czech top flight last season and are benefiting from increased investment amid a transition to a new ownership structure.
Cvancara will be hoping the move can help revive his career following a difficult spell at Celtic during the second half of last season.
His arrival at the Hoops generated considerable excitement at the time, with Martin O’Neill desperately requiring another striker during the January transfer window.
Cvancara was the first of several loan additions, with Junior Adamu, Joel Mvuka and Benjamin Arthur subsequently following him through the door.
The Czech international was immediately handed a prominent role but struggled to make a consistent impact in front of goal.
He ultimately returned to Gladbach having scored just twice in 13 appearances for Celtic.
