Eyüpspor added 28‑year‑old Polish winger Konrad Michalak to its squad on 2026‑07‑07; the club, sitting 15th in the league with 33 points, sees the transfer as a strategic move.

Who is Michalak and when did he transfer?

Konrad Michalak, a seasoned player who previously wore the shirts of Ankaragücü, Rizespor and Konyaspor in Turkey, joined from Panetolikos (Greek Super League). The official signing ceremony on 2026‑07‑07 was attended by Eyüpspor President Yusuf Öksüzömer. The announcement was reported by AA news agency and Emrah Oktay.

Why is this transfer significant for Eyüpspor?

Michalak is known for his pace and creativity on the flanks. The team, which has scored 33 goals while conceding 48 this season (‑15 net difference), is looking to strengthen its wings. His arrival could help address the attacking shortfall evident in the 3‑3 draw against Fenerbahçe on 2026‑05‑17. Moreover, Eyüpspor trails league leaders Galatasaray by 44 points and needs a fresh push for points.

What value does Michalak bring?

At 28, his experience will serve as a model for younger wingers. His speed and crossing ability could boost Eyüpspor’s offensive output, especially given the recent five‑match run (DDWDD) of 1 win and 4 draws. According to the coach, Michalak is expected to stretch the defense on the left side and be a key figure in counter‑attacks.

What to expect in the coming weeks?

The squad will face Çaykur Rizespor on 2026‑07‑14, where Michalak’s inclusion in the lineup and training performance will influence the coach’s decision. Eyüpspor aims to maintain its league position and avoid dropping points; Michalak’s adaptation will be a decisive factor through the season’s end.

Eyüpspor currently sits 15th in the Süper Lig with 33 points, recording 8 wins, 9 draws and 17 losses. In the last five games the club earned 1 win and 4 draws, keeping a clean streak without defeat. Michalak’s presence offers a new chance to preserve this stability and add more points.
