Igor Drapiński, a 22-year-old Polish youth international centre-back, is close to leaving Piast Gliwice to join Samsunspor. After a successful season, the defender had received inquiries from both domestic Ekstraklasa clubs and other foreign teams, but chose to continue his career in the Turkish league. According to Tomasz Włodarczyk, Samsunspor will pay a sum greater than the one million euro release clause in Drapiński's contract. The player is scheduled to undergo medical tests this Wednesday and, if they are successful, he will sign a long-term contract valid until June 30, 2031. The transfer is profitable for Piast Gliwice because they acquired Drapiński on a free transfer two years earlier. Drapiński has 8 caps for the Poland U21 national team, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €1.5 million.
