Goals by Sebastian Szymański, Robert Lewandowski and Nicola Zalewski secured three points in Poland's away match with Scotland (3:2). On Sunday evening, in Osijek, Croatia, the hosts prevailed, and the white and reds finished the match with zero points and goals scored. After two Nations League matches, they are in third place in the group.
Łęgowski to change club? Sensational plot twist
Only one of the three debutants who appeared at the training camp had a chance to make his debut. Mateusz Bogusz – unlike Mateusz Kowalczyk and Bartosz Mrozek – played with an eagle on his chest and can add “1A” to his football CV. This is exactly the same record that Mateusz Łęgowski has.
The midfielder, who left Pogoń Szczecin a year ago for Salernitana, then playing in Serie A, has been the subject of transfer speculation in recent weeks. His team has been relegated from the Italian elite, and he could – according to media reports – return to Poland. However, this will not happen.
Does this mean he will stay in Salerno for the rest of the season? Nothing of the sort. Gianluca Di Marzio – an Italian journalist specializing in providing information straight from the transfer market – informed about the new direction that Łęgowski will take. This is an unconventional move, if we look at it through the prism of a Polish footballer.
“Surprising news regarding Mateusz Łęgowski's future. The player will leave Salernitana, but will not return to his homeland. The midfielder rejected three offers that came from Poland, namely Cracovia, Raków and Lech Poznań. The footballer born in 2003 will join the Yverdon FC team playing in the Swiss Super League,” the journalist wrote on his website.
This is an opportunity to rebuild after a weaker period in the team from Salerno. “It seemed that in Serie B the Pole could be a fundamental pawn on the tactical chessboard of Salernitana, and he risks being remembered as one of many market failures” – tuttosalernitana.com wrote about him.
Yverdon FC is currently the eighth team in the Swiss top flight. After six rounds, it has five points – seven less than the leaders Servette. The Super League is not a popular direction for Polish footballers. Currently, only two of the white and reds play at this level. They are Łukasz Łakomy from Young Boys Bern and Kacper Przybyłko from FC Lugano. The latter has already scored six goals at the beginning of the current season – three in the league and the national cup.
Łęgowski will try to get back on the radar of the Polish national team in Switzerland. He played only one match in it. He got a chance to debut from Czesław Michniewicz. He played in 2022 against the Netherlands.
