Why did Lech sell Mrozek to Serie A?
The transfer of Bartosz Mrozek to Udinese has been officially confirmed, as reported by the Gol24 portal. The 26-year-old goalkeeper, who was Lech's first-choice for the past three years, signed a contract with the Italian club until 2029. Tomasz Włodarczyk of Meczyki reported that Mrozek did not travel with the team for the Europa League qualifying return leg against FC Thun due to finalizing the transfer.
Lech Poznan prepared for this departure by previously bringing Mateusz Lis back to Bułgarska. Mrozek will compete for the starting spot at Udinese with Maduka Okoye, under the management of coach Kosta Runjaić, who is well-known in Poland. The current Lech squad can be checked on our squad page.
What is Lech Poznan's current form?
The team led by coach Johan van den Brom enters the upcoming matches in good form. Lech are unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions, with a record of three wins and two draws. In the league, they have recorded two confident wins and one draw.
The most recent league triumph was a 3-0 victory over Piast Gliwice on August 9th. In this Ekstraklasa season, Lech have scored five goals and conceded only one, giving them an impressive +4 goal difference. Full team statistics are available on our stats page.
What's next after the Mrozek transfer?
The sale of Mrozek for a fee of around €1.5 million represents a significant financial boost for Lech Poznan. These funds could be used to strengthen other areas of the squad before the transfer window closes. Mateusz Lis, who returned to the club after playing for Turkish side Göztepe, now has the chance to prove he is a worthy successor.
The team's next test is Sunday's trip to Łódź, followed by a home match against Jagiellonia Białystok scheduled for September 3rd. The current league standings, where Lech are in 8th position, can be found on the standings page. The club has a real chance to close in on the top spots, especially if they maintain their defensive solidity which has seen them concede only once this season.
