Will Tomasz Fornal say goodbye to PlusLiga? Here is the news about the star of Jastrzębski Węgiel

It must be admitted that the transfer market in PlusLiga cut the ribbon exceptionally early in relation to the 2025/26 season. The club volleyball season in Poland started in mid-September, and already at the beginning of October it turns out that one of the key players may leave the country and choose Turkey.

PlusLiga: Will Tomasz Fornal leave Jastrzębski Węgiel?

There is no doubt that Tomasz Fornal is a star not only in the context of the Jastrzębski Węgiel team, but in the entire PlusLiga. The 27-year-old volleyball player regularly improved his position, becoming the most important figure not only in the club, but also an important element of coach Nikola Grbic’s puzzle in the national team.

It looks like Fornal will decide to leave PlusLiga after the end of the 2024/25 season. The news on this matter was first reported by Piotr Siekierski from the Volley Time podcast. In his opinion, the receiving JW is to set course for Turkey, more specifically Ziraat Bank Ankara. However, Siekierski noted in his entry on the X website that this would take place in the “most likely” version. That is, without official announcements or 100% certainty. However, this does not change the fact that the volleyball community was in a frenzy.

The head of Jastrzębski Węgiel spoke about Fornal’s future. He did not confirm Siekierski’s revelations, but also… he did not deny it.

– I am against winding up this carousel at this stage, so I stop these signals. Although it is normal that staff changes will occur. As for Tomek Fornal, regardless of whether he stays with us or leaves, I am extremely satisfied with what he has already achieved with us. He achieved the greatest successes and developed himself as a player with us – admitted the president of the Polish champions and Champions League finalists, Adam Gorol, in “Przegląd Sportowy” and Onet.

Are these surprising words? Certainly not, but definitely spot on. The transfer market in PlusLiga is undoubtedly interesting, fans eagerly read and speculate about potential moves, journalists try to be the first, so it is difficult to stop this machine.

Fornal will definitely be a tasty treat on the market. Türkiye may be one of the potential destinations, especially in terms of the financial capabilities of individual clubs. The mentioned club from Ankara is certainly among this group.

As for the Polish representative, it is expected that clubs from the Italian league will enter the game. In order to develop his career, a groom should try his hand at working abroad. However, at the beginning of October 2024, after only a few weeks of the new season, it is difficult to clearly indicate that the issue of choosing the future on the part of the player himself has been definitively closed.
