Is Patrick Klimala joining Standard Liège? Although the transfer seemed close to completion, it is now in question. Among other things, due to… fan reactions on social media.
Klimala has had a disastrous few months in the colours of Śląsk. Although the Wrocław team won the national runner-up title, the striker was more of a hindrance than a help, recording several desperate performances in the spring. Therefore, the information provided by Tomasz Włodarczyk from the website “Meczyki” that Standard Liège is interested in the 25-year-old came as a surprise. It is rare for a player from Ekstraklasa to achieve a sporting promotion after a disastrous run and move to a much stronger league.
However, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavoleri confirmed yesterday that talks between Klimala, Silesia and Standard are indeed taking place. Although Tavoleri pointed out that not all Liege activists are in favour of the Polish striker’s transfer. Laurent Dafenay, the head of scouts, is said to have pushed hard for Klimala’s signing.
The Pole’s potential move to the Belgian league has clearly caused quite a stir on social media. Śląsk fans have been celebrating the impending split from Klimala, and Standard fans have been shaking their heads as they watch more clips of the former Hapoel Be’er Sheva player’s performances. It’s clear that the discontent of Belgian fans (and the mockery of Polish fans) may prevent the transfer.
