Strasbourg have officially signed goalkeeper Milosz Piekutowski from Jagiellonia Bialystok on a permanent deal, the club confirmed. The 20-year-old Polish international has agreed to a contract with the Ligue 1 side that runs until 2029, with an additional optional year. While the transfer is free, Jagiellonia Bialystok will receive a €400,000 fee as part of the development rights.
Piekutowski recently impressed observers during Jagiellonia Bialystok’s Europa Conference League match against Strasbourg at the Meinau stadium on October 23rd, which ended in a 1-1 draw. He is expected to serve as the backup goalkeeper for Strasbourg, following a significant overhaul of the goalkeeping department. Mike Penders has returned from his loan spell, while Karl-Johan Johnsson and Stefan Bajic have both departed the club upon the expiration of their contracts, with Bajic joining Alemannia Aachen.
Piekutowski began his career with Jagiellonia Bialystok, progressing through their youth ranks before becoming a regular in the first team. He has represented Poland at youth levels and is now looking to establish himself in a top-five European league. Jagiellonia Bialystok currently sit third in the Polish Ekstraklasa, benefiting from the development of players like Piekutowski.
The signing of Piekutowski represents a strategic move for Strasbourg as they rebuild their goalkeeping options ahead of the new season. He joins Diogo Sousa, who arrived from Vitoria Guimaraes, and Benjamin Brantlind, signed from Göteborg, as Strasbourg’s third summer acquisition. The club will be hoping Piekutowski’s arrival provides healthy competition and long-term stability in the goalkeeping position.
