KRC Genk and Club Brugge bet on young Polish striker worth €10 million

On a cold evening in Zürich, the Swiss crowd saw Daniel Mikolajewski score a hat-trick against Grasshoppers, while scouts from KRC Genk and Club Brugge scoured the stands. The 20‑year‑old Polish striker showed that he is worth the attention, even before the international break began.

Impressive statistics at Luzern

This season, Mikolajewski is playing on loan from Parma at FC Luzern, where he has recorded four goals and three assists in eight matches. His rapid rise in the Swiss Super League has put him on the map in one fell swoop.

Market value and contractual situation

According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is three million euros, while the asking price now lies between eight and ten million euros. Mikolajewski is under contract with Parma until 2030, but the loan agreement contains no purchase option and the Italian club does not want to sell him in January.

Intense competition for the young striker

For Club Brugge and KRC Genk the interest is clear; both Belgian clubs are closely monitoring the situation of the Polish forward, reports 4‑4‑2.ch. Bologna and Torino from Serie A are also mentioned, and several clubs have already sent scouts to Switzerland to watch the striker live. A potential winter transfer, however, appears to be ruled out.

The young striker fits perfectly the profile of a classic number nine with plenty of room for growth. In addition to his goal‑scoring output he provides three assists, which proves that he can do more than just finish. His playing trait is combining in the final third and taking part in the build‑up.

At international level Mikolajewski represents Poland U21, giving him experience at youth level. This combination of goal‑orientation, creativity and international experience makes him attractive to several clubs.

For Club Brugge and KRC Genk a potential purchase would represent a substantial investment, especially given the competition from two Serie A clubs. A successful transfer would provide the Belgian clubs not only with a talented striker, but also with a player who could see a considerable increase in value in the future.
