GKS Katowice signs young Polish player Szymon Bartlewicz, who will join the team in the summer transfer window. The 20-year-old midfielder was on Gieksa's radar for two years, but Chrobry had high financial expectations from Katowice. Now Bartlewicz will move to Katowice for a symbolic amount, which will be the equivalent of training compensation. GKS Katowice was one of the biggest surprises of the last season of PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa. Rafał Górak's team made a spectacular march up the table and finished the season in fifth place in the league standings, which gave them the right to play in the Conference League qualifiers. In recent transfer windows, Katowice has made many interesting transfers. Among others, Bartosz Nowak, Mateusz Kowalczyk and Damian Rasak have joined the team. Szymon Bartlewicz played 94 games in Betclic 1. Liga, scoring 12 goals and making 11 assists. According to information from the Goal.pl portal, Bartlewicz made an assist in the only goal for Głogowian in the match against Wieczysta Kraków. Chrobry eventually lost the match, but Bartlewicz will no longer play in the PKO Bank Polski Ekstraklasa. GKS Katowice is preparing for the next season and is close to signing a young midfielder. The transfer of Szymon Bartlewicz is the first summer transfer of Katowice. GKS Katowice will fight for promotion to the Conference League, and the young midfielder will have the opportunity to show his skills on the European stage.
