It was speculated in the media that Michał Karbownik might remain at the Berlin team after a transfer to the Bundesliga did not materialize. Coach Stefan Leitl, who holds the player in high regard, reportedly pushed for this outcome. According to 'Bild', Karbownik has notified the Hertha authorities that he does not intend to accept the proposed new contract and will leave the club as a free agent when his current contract expires.

According to 'kicker', an extension of Michal Karbownik's expiring contract is possible, and the Polish player is quite willing to agree to an extension. The Old Lady wants to keep the four-time national player.

According to 'Bild', Hertha BSC wants to provide the 24-year-old Michal Karbownik with a new contract, preferably immediately. The initial talks are expected to take place soon. Hertha coach Stefan Leitl is particularly advocating for an extension for the Pole.

Polish midfielder Michael Karbownik (24) is also supposed to stay. His current contract expires on June 30, 2026, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €2.00m.
