With the signing of Bartosz Mazurek, sporting director Marcus Mann seems to have pulled off a real masterstroke at FC Red Bull Salzburg.
The 19-year-old midfielder arrived in the Mozart City in the summer for six million euros from Jagiellonia (Poland). The central midfielder didn't need much time to adapt.
Key player in Salzburg
"I am very happy here in Salzburg. The team is good and everyone gave me a warm welcome. I try to give my best on the pitch," the Pole says, happy about his move to Austria.
So far, he has featured in 23 competitive matches for the "Bulls," scoring two goals and providing six assists. According to "Transfermarkt," his market value has now grown to ten million euros.
A dream come true
The midfielder impresses above all with his strong presence between the penalty boxes, embodying the modern box-to-box player. With his dynamism and intensity off the ball, he also fits perfectly into the "Bulls'" playing philosophy.
His rapid development has not gone unnoticed in his home country. The youngster has been called up to the senior squad for the first time by head coach Jan Urban for the two Nations League matches against Romania and Sweden (All details >>>).
For Mazurek, it is a dream come true, as he told LAOLA1: "It's an incredible feeling. It was my biggest dream. I waited a long time for this and worked hard for it."
