Arkadiusz Pyrka leaving Piast Gliwice?
Arkadiusz Pyrka is a new signing for FC St. Pauli. He will begin his training with the club on Thursday, 3rd July, after having a few days of vacation due to Poland's early exit from the U21 European Championship.
Arkadiusz Pyrka is set to join FC St. Pauli following the expiration of his contract with Piast Gliwice at the end of June. This decision had been made some time ago, as Pyrka opted not to renew his contract, leading to his exclusion from the spring round of matches. FC St. Pauli currently holds the 14th position in the Bundesliga. Piast Gliwice's president, Łukasz Lewiński, indicated that Pyrka's decision to leave was partly due to past incidents, including a blocked transfer that could have brought the club 2 million euros. The club had proposed various contract renewal options, such as selling Pyrka and immediately loaning him back to prepare for the U21 European Championship, but none were accepted.
