Confirmed Transfer Kapustka to Legia Warsaw

[Jeff]

Polish midfielder Bartosz Kapustka has signed for PKO Ekstraklasa side Legia Warsaw in a permanent transfer.

The 23-year-old moved to King Power Stadium in the summer of 2016 from Polish outfit Cracovia after impressing for his country at UEFA Euro 2016.

He appeared regularly for Leicester City’s Development Squad and made his first team debut in an FA Cup win away at Everton in January 2017.

Kapustka enjoyed spells on loan at SC Freiburg and OH Leuven while with City, but now returns to his native Poland to continue his footballing journey.

The Football Club would like to thanks Bartosz for his contribution and wish him well for the future.

 

[Graz]

Good luck to him.

Wonder if we managed to get a fee?

 

[Lako42]

A very strange situation from the start.

I don't think he's anywhere near as good as his sporadic international displays suggested.

 

[lazzer]

Poor purchase in a very long line of poor purchases.

 

[Skitzo]

Good luck to him.

Wonder if we managed to get a fee?

I believe his contract expired

took a fairly cheap gamble on him and it didn't work

 

[Brown Nose]

Good fecking riddens.

We're a constipated football club. Can't get rid of the shit.

 

[Jeff]

I believe his contract expired

He had a year left.

 

[Skitzo]

He had a year left.

oh I don't remember him signing an extension to his original deal oh well a couple of hundred grand at most I'd suspect

 

[Jeff]

oh I don't remember him signing an extension to his original deal

He didn't.

 

[Skitzo]

oh thought he'd signed a 4 year deal initially, never mind

Hopefully the first of many out the door

already the 3rd isn't he after King and Bennett

I wonder what sort of money he was on? A 5 year contract probably adds up to a fairly decent wedge, for someone who didn't do anything for us.

 

[Ike O'Noclassed]

Not the first name that sprung to mind in considering who might be leaving City looking for Champions League football, but good luck to the lad anyway.

given his age not that much for a premier league footballer

Over one million pounds a year sound bad?

£30k a week, according to various websites (no idea how reputable they are, but they all seem to say the same sort of thing). It's a fair chunk for nothing, I'd suggest.

there are players in the development teams of Manchester United and Man City etc that are on more then that that haven't achieved what he had at the point we signed him, the wages in football are mad, there is no justification for what anyone gets paid at Championship level and above

 

[M17TT C]

It'll be interesting to see how the rest of his career pans out as Warsaw are still a decent level and could be another like Kramaric.

Good luck to the lad though!
