Jan Ziolkowski is enjoying the best moment of his career.
After two brief stints with Roma, the defender also made his debut for Poland.
Born in 2005, he arrived in the summer after a grueling negotiation: several clubs tried to snatch him from Frederic Massara, but the player had pledged his loyalty to the Roman club.
It took €6.6 million, with a 10% resale fee, to convince Legia to release him.
New country, new team, new coach: after an initial period of adaptation, the young defender is starting to establish himself.
First, his debut in the middle of a match against Verona, then his arrival in Florence, is a testament to Gian Piero Gasperini’s considerable respect.
“Massara saw him and I trust him; he’s the right player to put behind Mancini. Let’s hope he’s a top-level player,” the coach said at the end of the summer.
