One more rumor than to is 2021 became reality. In this path of continuing to add young talent to the league, having the lowest average age for this season, the New York Red Bulls They continue to do their bit and now they will do so with one of the promises that they failed to exploit – until now – in European football. As confirmed by his coach, Patryk Klimala is all set to be a new addition to the New Jersey franchise.
At the beginning of April, the first reports of this transfer that the coach was looking for were released Gerhard Struber, but inside Celtic nothing official was commented, but it did not look out of place when one understands the situation of the attacker. In his last year playing at home, Klimala continued to prove that he was a young prospect at the European level and not just a fantasy tale like the one that had 13 goals and 2 assists in the third division. This gave him the leap to the maximum circuit and in the Polish Ekstraklasa he was in charge of a good final cycle with the Jagiellonia Białystok, with which he left 7 scores and 3 passes to goal in his last 17 games.
This is how he arrived at Celtic, but, unfortunately, those numbers from Poland were not seen again for a year and a half and largely because of not being able to gain the trust of John Kennedy about the performances of his teammates Odsonne Edouard and Albian Ajeti. His minutes were few, so many were a third and his frustration was not less, so the change was imminent.
“Patryk is finalizing a contract to go with them, it was an opportunity that appeared for him and for both parties it is a good deal. I have a very good relationship with him, I have lived with him a lot, he is a great professional and we wish him the best of luck, “Kennedy said.
Information from Scotland indicates that the negotiation would be finalizing for 3.5 million pounds sterling, so, practically, Celtic would be getting back what they paid for him. Due to visa and medical exam issues, it is estimated that the forward will not be available as soon as the first or second day, so Struber will have to keep working with Cameron Harper and Fabio.
Former Celtics joining New York Red Bulls
Klimala will not arrive alone in this new adventure, since, in addition to him, at the moment the Red Bulls already have two more former players who passed through the ranks of Celtic; one of them was even his teammate. The first of them is Andrew Gutman, who signed a 3-year contract, but could never have minutes in Europe. The other is the aforementioned Cameron Harper who also did not like how the team worked and a month ago joined the New York organization.
