Fortuna Düsseldorf: Union Berlin favorite on Kownacki commitment?

Fortuna striker coveted

At the beginning of December, Fortuna Düsseldorf and center forward Dawid Kownacki made it clear that they would part ways in the summer. The 26-year-old Pole had rejected the offer to extend his contract. In the meantime, there are increasing signs of where the attacker could be drawn to for free: According to the “foosball” several ambitious Bundesliga clubs are interested in Kownacki’s services.

Union Berlin, which often relies on experienced and free transfer professionals, can be considered to be the favorites. The Köpenicker have very good chances of a commitment, writes the magazine. As a powerful argument, Union could cite the likely renewed qualification for the European Cup. Clubs from the Italian Serie A and the English Premier League are named as other applicants. At the FCU, Kownacki, who has scored ten goals and six assists in 22 games in the 2022/23 second division season, could rejuvenate the somewhat outdated attack by Sven Michel and Kevin Behrens (both over 30 years old).

At the beginning of January it was said in the “Bild” that the 26-year-old was extremely attracted to a transfer to Borussia Mönchengladbach. Kownacki’s family feels very comfortable in Düsseldorf and would like to stay there. There, too, there were several inquiries from the Bundesliga and also from PSV Eindhoven. “After almost three years in Düsseldorf, I would like to change my sport and have set myself the goal of taking the next step. I promised the coach, the team and the sporting management that I would give everything here until the last day. And anyone who knows me knows that you can rely on me 100 percent,” said the offensive man, explaining his decision to leave after the season.
