It's certain! The Italians have wanted him for a long time. He said goodbye with a goal.
Rumors about this transfer had been circulating for a year, and his name had already appeared in the notebooks of Udinese Calcio representatives. Jakub Piotrowski will soon join the Italian team, which will buy him from Ludogorets Razgrad. The Polish national team midfielder played his last match for the Bulgarian champions on Wednesday and bid farewell to the fans in a very impressive manner.
His goal opened the scoring against Rijeka, and Ludogorets ultimately secured a 3-1 victory in extra time to secure a spot in the third qualifying round of the Champions League. The 27-year-old thus ends a remarkable three-year stint in Bulgaria and will join Kosta Runjaić's side in a few days.
"When we joined the club, we started talking about how we envisioned the future development of the entire team, in terms of style and player profiles. At one point, one of the directors himself admitted that Kuba Piotrowski would be the right fit for us. This happened during last season, I think at the very beginning. And now he's joining us," confirmed Przemysław Małecki, Runjaić's assistant, in an interview with Kanal Sportowy.
Piotrowski perfectly fits the profile sought by the northern Italian club for a midfielder. Małecki lists a number of attributes required of Udinese midfielders.
"We want our central midfielders to be versatile, able to rotate and function in more than one position. We also want them to be mobile and capable of running. Kuba is the kind of player who gets tired when he stands still. He also has the right footballing quality and is a very intelligent guy. He also has the kind of character we need. At Udinese, we want to focus on players who want to work and develop, and who also have high-level willpower," concluded Przemysław Małecki in an interview on Kanal Sportowy.
