Rio Ngumoha, 17, steals the show — 7.71

Marked 7.71 at 17, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Door shut on Jonatan Braut Brunes

Slask asked and Raków Częstochowa said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Boardroom24 Aug 2026

Slask go back to the board over Jonatan Braut Brunes

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $3.0M — a club that wants Jonatan Braut Brunes enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

An offer of $370.0K for Kacper Łukasiak

Slask have gone to GKS Katowice with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Slask

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Przemysław Banaszak was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Match22 Aug 2026

Piotr Samiec-Talar sends Slask past Puszcza Niepołomice

It finished 2‑1, and it was Piotr Samiec-Talar’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Slask.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Rio Ngumoha

At 17 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

A masterclass from Patryk Sokołowski

Marked 8.08 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Slask count the cost of losing Bartosz Głogowski

60 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Slask bid $2.6M for Jonatan Braut Brunes

The offer went to Raków Częstochowa this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Market17 Aug 2026

Slask say no — this time

The offer from BSK Bijelo Brdo for Jorge Yriarte was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

A move Jakub Konstantyn would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Jakub Konstantyn is living that version at Slask, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Too dear: Slask walk away from Jesús Jiménez

$500.0K was the most the club would pay and Bruk-Bet Termalica were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Slask rebuffed over Krzysztof Kubica

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Bruk-Bet Termalica have kept their man, and Slask go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

A row about effort at Slask

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Slask

Mariusz Malec and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Piotr Samiec-Talar stands above it all

Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.90 on the card, and the Slask support went home talking about one name.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Too much change too quickly at Slask

6 signings in three months. Every one of them may be an upgrade and the team can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild that never appears in the transfer-window verdicts.

Jorge Yriarte pops up at the right end — 7.81

7.81, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.

Transfer targets10 Aug 2026

Slask bid $470.0K for Jesús Jiménez

The offer went to Bruk-Bet Termalica this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

Slask rebuffed over José Arnáiz

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Granada have kept their man, and Slask go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Antoni Klimek beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Michał Szromnik in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Slask this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout10 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Michał Szromnik

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Michał Szromnik, and the manager let it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Piotr Piatek steps up from the Slask academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Piotr Piatek has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Market10 Aug 2026

Slask promote Bartosz Klich from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bartosz Klich has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Michał Szromnik keeps Slask in it on his own

Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Market3 Aug 2026

Jorge Yriarte hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Slask can pretend not to have heard.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Slask rebuffed over Levente Szabó

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Zaglebie have kept their man, and Slask go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Lamine Bâ signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Lamine Bâ commits to Slask for another 4 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Slask

Michał Szromnik was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Words at Slask training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Przemysław Banaszak is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match1 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Slask against Odra Opole

0‑2 to Odra Opole, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Market3 Aug 2026

The clock runs on Lamine Bâ's contract

49 months left and silence from upstairs — no offer, no talks, nothing for his people to answer. Clubs that let a calendar do their negotiating usually end up negotiating with the calendar.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

Jakub Szymanski: “No excuses”

“I could talk about decisions and I could talk about luck. I will not. We lost.” The manager, 0‑2, and a press conference that lasted four minutes.
