signed a contract with Brighton until 2026, but will spend the next six months in Belgium. He has been loaned by the Premier League club to Union Royal Saint-Gilloise, their satellite club, which is the revelation of the season and takes first place in the table. The point is for him to play in a stronger league than Poland and get used to higher intensity, and at the same time collect points needed to obtain a work permit in England.
– It was a priority for us. We believe that Brighton will not be the last Kacper club – says Dariusz Adamczuk, sports director, emphasizing the importance of this possible profit from the next transfer. According to our information, it is 10 percent. the amount for which the Pole will leave Brighton.
President of Pogoń: Kozłowski broke the transfer record of the Ekstraklasa
In an interview, Jarosław Mroczek, president of the vice-leader of the league, was asked about the amount of the transfer. And although he cannot reveal the exact amount, he gives very valuable tips. – Although I cannot give the exact amount, because we are bound by a trade secret, let me put it this way: never before has any Polish club received such money for the transfer of a player. So we have a record. Especially in an interview with the official website of Pogoń, I spoke about the eight-figure amount to give everyone a sense of what it looks like and, on the other hand, to keep my word for the English club – he said. And he added that there was no chance that Brighton, having bought Kozłowski, would lend him back to Pogoń.
Brexit has various repercussions, also on the football field. Work permits and so on. We may not like it, but the Polish league is ranked low, and this translates into some matters. The English loaned Kacper to Belgium, the club there has the same owner as Brighton. From their point of view, this is the best solution. And I have to understand it, although I hope that in a few years, as a league, we will be so much stronger that we will be more attractive to such repayable loans. However, it is worth remembering that Kozłowski does not go to the outsider of the Belgian league. Goes to the leader! To a club that can introduce young players to the team.
So far, the most expensive footballer sold from the league was Jakub Moder – unofficially it is said that Brighton spent EUR 10.5 million on him. The Polish representative has already played 33 matches in “Mew”, in which he scored and scored three assists. The same club also bought Michał Karbownik from Legia Warszawa for approx. EUR 6 million – but the 20-year-old was loaned to Olympiacos Piraeus for this season. In the Premier League, Brighton is currently ranked 9th with 27 points.
