Club Brugge and RSC Anderlecht have various financial resources at their disposal to attract players, as was recently shown in the battle for Michal Skoras (23), the star player of Lech Poznan. At the beginning of April it became known that Anderlecht were interested in the Polish winger, but in the end Club Brugge came out on top. The West Flemish paid six million euros for the transfer of Skoras, an amount that can increase even further through bonuses. This is a considerably higher amount than what Anderlecht can afford, making it clear that the people from Brussels cannot possibly measure themselves at the same level as Club Brugge on the transfer market.
ANDERLECHT THE FIRST, BUT CLUB BRUGES THE WINNER
Michal Skoras is the fifth most decisive player in the UEFA Conference League with seven goals and two assists. He is a four-time Pool international, who played in the group stage against Argentina in the previous World Cup. According to Markus Rosenberg, former striker of the Swedish national team, Ajax, Werder Bremen and West Bromwich Albion, Skoras has the potential to become a fantastic player. It had therefore been established for some time that the star player of Lech Poznan would leave the club in the upcoming summer mercato.
“We realize that the next step is a transfer,” Piotr Rutkowski, vice-president of the Polish champions, said in an interview earlier this season with Sports Review. “Michal made his world championship debut. The Ekstraklasa is getting too small for him. He needs to move on and develop further.” Coach John van den Brom also realized that Skoras was untenable for Lech Poznan. “It had been certain for a while that he would leave in the summer. According to the club management, there was a lot of interest in him,” said the Dutchman recently The newspapaer.

Anderlecht was one of the first clubs to be interested in Michal Skoras, along with KRC Genk, AA Gent, Galatasaray, Bologna and Montpellier HSC. But soon the inhabitants of Brussels had to drop out because of the high asking price of 7 million euros, which did not fit their budget at all. Club Brugge, on the other hand, saw their chance in this and approached the player and the club for a possible transfer. The West Flemings negotiated a transfer amount of six million euros, which can increase even further through bonuses.
FAIRLY COMPLETE WITH HUGE POTENTIAL
With a basic amount of six million euros, the transfer of Michal Skoras is one of the most expensive in Polish football history, where only Jakub Kaminski (for 10 million euros to VfL Wolfsburg) and Jakub Moder (for 11 million euros to Brighton Hove & Albion) have previously been transferred. were sold for more money in the Polish Ekstraklasa. John van den Brom, the current coach of Skoras at Lech Poznan, is convinced that the flank attacker will show great things at Club Brugge. In an interview with The newspapaer he praises Skoras’ mentality, work force, individual actions, physical prowess and focus, and says: “He is quite complete.”

One of Michal Skoras’ great assets is his impressive speed, but unlike what is often the case with fast footballers, who usually play football with blinders on, Skoras also has the overview and the decision-making power to make optimal use of this speed. As former Polish national team striker Sylwester Czereszewski noted in an interview with TVPSPORT.PL: “Michal is not only fast, he is also smart. Its potential is enormous. His game is spectacular, but he also gets stats. He presses well, he is omnipresent and he is very focused.”
UNPREDICTABLE ATTACKER
Michal Skoras’ speed and technique, coupled with his good dribbling, allow him to easily take down his opponents. In Poland, he has also been praised for his unpredictability and threat in front of goal. Although he has a great right foot, he is sometimes quite predictable in his dribbles and actions, precisely because he uses that right foot too often. In addition, he still needs to sharpen his focus and make better decisions in the last step. Like John van den Brom in The newspapaer remarks: “Well, that also has to do with age and experience. The more he gets into scoring position, the better he will get at it. He can also play both left and right winger. It doesn’t matter to him.”
