"I see enormous potential in Polish football, and it is clearly visible in Legia Warszawa. There are not many clubs in the world that can match the history of Legia, its community and the foundations that Dariusz and his team have built: a very modern training center, a high-quality academy, advanced commercial activity and a highly professional organization," said Gorzynski after officially acquiring the shares.
Mioduski also did not miss out on giving praise to Gorzynski. "For him, this is a return to more emotional roots. He sees this as something he wants to help with. This is very much in line with my approach. I'm happy because I finally have someone who, I hope, I can depend on and rely on," explained Mioduski.
From the start, it was clear that Gorzynski paid a huge amount of money for a share package in the capital club. Media reported that the amount paid was between 40 and 50 million euros. According to Włodarczyk, when Gorzynski's name was revealed, it was stated that he had to inject 50 million euros into Legia, and this amount turned out to be in accordance with the acquisition value of the Legia shares.
"Part of this amount will soon be visible at KRS (Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy). Time will tell how this will affect Legia's winter transfer window," continued Włodarczyk.
Gorzynski was recently present at Legia Warszawa's match against Wisła Kraków and seemed very impressed with the team's performance. "Judging from the stands of the team's games and the overall atmosphere, Gorzynski was very impressed with Legia. On Monday, he met with employees from various departments, visited the LTC, and talked with coaches Marek Papszun and Fredy Bobic," explained Włodarczyk.
Currently, Legia Warszawa is showing much better performance than last season. Under the guidance of Marek Papszun, the team is now in second place in the standings, only three points behind Górnik Zabrze who is at the top. Legia is also the only team that has not lost in the Ekstraklasa.
