Patrik Hellebrand responded to reports of a possible transfer to Widzew Łódź. The Czech midfielder of Górnik Zabrze denied information that he had already agreed with another Ekstraklasa club. — It's not true. I only read about it — Hellebrand said, asked about reports from Poland. Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl reported yesterday that Widzew Łódź knows the release clause of the Czech player and had agreed on financial terms. According to these reports, the clause for the Polish club is 1.7 million euros, and for foreign teams 1.5 million euros. The player now denies this — at least in terms of agreement with Widzew. Hellebrand does not hide, however, that interest from other clubs exists. Earlier, the topic of Bursaspor was confirmed by Górnik's sports director Łukasz Milik. The Turks were discussing conditions, and the transfer would have been primarily financially attractive. Milik said in Meczykach that with such money, it's hard to pretend that the topic doesn't matter. However, no official offer has been made yet, which would close the matter. Widzew Łódź in talks with player? He denies it. The Czech in an interview with iSport declared that he is currently focused on Górnik. Zabrzanie have had a great season, ended with a vice-championship of Poland and the capture of the Polish Cup. Before them, European cup eliminations and a very attractive double with Fenerbahce await. For Hellebrand. Widzew may have money, may know the clause and may analyze the transfer, but without the player's will, it's hard to talk about a move close to finalization. Hellebrand is a key player in Górnik, has a contract until 2029 and after such a season, he doesn't have to leave at the first stronger offer. For Górnik, keeping Hellebrand would be very important. The team of Michal Gasparik awaits games on several fronts, and the loss of the midfield leader before the cups would be a significant blow. The clause limits the club's maneuvering room, but it doesn't change one thing — the transfer won't happen on its own if the player doesn't want to move to a specific place. This, of course, doesn't change the fact that the Czech didn't deny the existence of the release clause. This puts Górnik Zabrze in a difficult position. How will the player behave when an offer with a salary three to four times higher than his current salary in Zabrze appears on the table? Patrik Hellebrand denied the 'agreement' with Widzew Łódź, but this certainly doesn't close the topic of his future yet. And it won't — until the transfer window closes.
