Celtic have had a busy summer window, and while they have been very prominent when it comes to chasing transfer acquisitions, they have been rather quiet on the exit side of things. They have a substantial number of players returning to the club from loan this summer, which means they have plenty of decisions to make.
One of the main decisions not relating to returning loanees comes in the form of Maik Nawrocki, who has shown flashes of quality both with Celtic and other previous stints, but it seems as though Brendan Rodgers does not view him as someone who can contribute regularly.
This has led to discussions surrounding him leaving for another opportunity elsewhere, and given how the Hoops have chosen to bench him on most occasions, that seems to be a fair assessment.
The question then becomes, how much could Celtic receive back for Nawrocki's transfer, considering there is still around three years left on his contract? While there has not been an exceptional amount of interest as of yet that has been reported, it seems as though one club could be making a move to try and start their due diligence.
The recent news regarding Nawrocki comes from Polish sports outlet Kanał Sportowy, which reports that Polish club Pogon Szczecin is interested in landing the young defender, and that managing director Tan Kesler has confirmed their interest.
This would make sense given he has already played in Poland before, both on loan with Warta Poznań and at Legia Warsaw.
Legia Warsaw are the most successful club in Polish history, which means Nawrocki has already experienced what it is like to have those large expectations placed upon him in that league as well.
Pogoń Szczecin also plays in the top level of Polish football, the Ekstraklasa, and finished in fourth place this past season. Intriguingly enough, this was ahead of Legia Warsaw, which finished right behind them in fifth.
