The highly rated defender had drawn significant attention from abroad, with Saudi giants Al-Hilal SFC reportedly preparing a lucrative offer to lure him away. However, after careful consideration, he chose loyalty over money, reaffirming his commitment to Wisła Kraków and its long-term project.
“I believe in this team, in the direction the club is heading, and in what we can achieve together,” the Frenchman said following the signing. “The fans, the city, and my teammates have made me feel at home. This is where I want to continue growing and winning.”
Since arriving at the club, the defender has quickly established himself as one of the cornerstones of Wisła’s backline. Alongside Igor Łasicki, he has formed a reliable and disciplined defensive partnership that has become crucial to the team’s recent resurgence both domestically and in Europe.
Łasicki praised his teammate after the news broke:
“Playing next to him has been a privilege. He’s calm, intelligent on the ball, and fearless in challenges. Together, we’ve built something strong, and I’m excited that it will continue for many years.”
By securing the French defender until 2030, Wisła Kraków has sent a strong message about its ambition. Club president Jarosław Królewski emphasized that retaining key talents is just as important as bringing in reinforcements:
“This renewal proves that Wisła Kraków is not just a stepping stone—it is a destination. Our goal is to keep building a team that can fight for titles and represent Polish football on the biggest stages. Today’s announcement is a big step in that direction.”
The commitment of the French center-back adds stability to Wisła’s defensive core and reassures fans that the club remains focused on growth and competitiveness. With his best years still ahead of him, the Frenchman is set to be a leader in Wisła’s push for silverware in the coming seasons.
For now, the message is clear: while other clubs may circle, Wisła Kraków keeps its key Dragon firmly in Kraków.
