Jagiellonia Białystok youth product Miłosz Piekutowski has signed a long-term contract with Ligue 1 club Racing Strasbourg, lasting until 2031. The 20-year-old goalkeeper moved to France as a free agent, with Jagiellonia set to receive some training compensation, according to reports from footmercato.net.
How the Piekutowski deal to Strasbourg materialized
Piekutowski’s move to France follows a breakout period in the Ekstraklasa. After serving as a backup to Sławomir Abramowicz at Jagiellonia Białystok, the 20-year-old stepped into the starting lineup following an injury to his teammate. He recorded four appearances in the Polish top flight and two in the UEFA Conference League, where his performance against Strasbourg in October—featuring five saves—reportedly caught the attention of the French club’s scouts. Following his departure from Białystok, he officially joined the eighth-place Ligue 1 side on a contract extending through 2031.
Financial structure: Training compensation vs. market value
While Strasbourg did not pay a transfer fee for the player, the transaction involves a mandated training compensation payment. According to footmercato.net, Jagiellonia is expected to receive some training compensation. This figure stands in contrast to the deal involving fellow Pole Maxi Oyedele, who joined Strasbourg from Legia Warszawa a year ago for a reported millions. Unlike Oyedele, who was a signed asset under contract, Piekutowski’s status as a free agent significantly limited the immediate capital return for his former Polish employer.
Before his time at Jagiellonia, Piekutowski gained senior experience during a six-month loan spell at Stal Stalowa Wola, where he kept three clean sheets in 14 appearances.
What comes next for the young goalkeeper?
Piekutowski currently enters a Strasbourg squad where he is the only listed goalkeeper, yet analysts suggest he is unlikely to be the immediate first-choice starter for the upcoming season. His development path includes recent experience at the international level, having made seven appearances for the Poland U19 squad between 2024 and 2025. His integration into the French league will be closely monitored given his limited top-flight experience in Poland.
