Will Arkadiusz Milik return to the Ekstraklasa? This would be a huge transfer hit
Arkadiusz Milik on the pitches of the Polish league? PKO BP Ekstraklasa would certainly gain a lot in value, and his brother, Łukasz, said about the striker’s future.
It so happens that Łukasz Milik is the sports director of Górnik Zabrze. The team led by coach Jan Urban is one of the revelations of the current PKO BP Ekstraklasa season. After 18 matches played, Zabrze are in a high, sixth place in the ranking. With quite real chances of even joining the fight for a place in European cups. Although in terms of budget, Górnik certainly cannot be compared to the richest players in the league.
Will Arkadiusz Milik follow in the footsteps of Lukas Podolski? Sensational words
Zabrze has a specific brand in Poland. Many famous people passed through the club not only in the 20th century, but also in the 21st century. Suffice it to mention, for example, Adam Nawałka, a coach who has just moved from Górnik to the position of coach of the Polish national team.
In that national team, Arkadiusz Milik was a striker duo with Robert Lewandowski. A footballer who set out to conquer Europe… also from Zabrze! The extremely talented, then young Milik played for Górnik in the 2011/12 season. Then the attacker headed towards Bayer Leverkusen, and his next stops were, among others: Amsterdam Ajax, SSC Napoli, Olympique Marseille and finally Juventus.
There are many indications that Milik plans to return to Zabrze, again as a Górnik player. The sports director of the Zabrze club, and privately the brother of the Juventus striker, Łukasz Milik, revealed a little more behind the scenes.
– Of course, we are still in touch. He also monitors how Górnik is doing. It is known that Arek supports Górnik. He still has a contract at Juventus. Of course, he still wants to play, he has some dreams. I still feel strong enough. I don’t know when it will be, three or four years from now. It’s hard to say what Ark’s situation will be then. Today, he first needs to appear on the pitch, recover, and start playing regularly. But you know, this topic of his return to Zabrze will keep coming back somewhere, every six months, every year. It was the same with “Poldi”. He also came back to us for several years, but as he said, he did it and he is actually in Górnik. The same situation may happen with Arek. He can also say at the very end of his career: Okay, I’m ready, okay, I want to return to Poland. So far he has not said anything on this matter, no declaration has been made as to the time. However, Arek is certainly interested in the fate of the club – admitted the sports director of the club from Zabrze after winning the match (2:1) against Lech Poznań.
If Milik actually returned to Zabrze in a few years, it would be a move comparable to the one decided by Lukas Podolski in 2021. Born in Gliwice, the world champion (2014) with the German national team for Górnik has already played in over 100 official matches, additionally investing heavily in a place that is legendary for Polish football.
