With 208 matches under his belt for Sampdoria, Bartosz Bereszyński has cemented his status as a legend in Italian football. The 32-year-old Polish defender has been a cornerstone for the Genoa-based club since joining in 2017 from Legia Warsaw. Bereszyński’s impressive performances have earned him a special place in the hearts of Sampdoria fans, and he is now just eight matches shy of becoming the foreign player with the most appearances for the club.
However, the question on everyone’s mind is whether Bereszyński will extend his stay at Sampdoria beyond the current season. His contract is set to expire, and while the club is keen to renew his deal, Bereszyński has not made a decision yet. In an exclusive interview with sport.tvp.pl, Bereszyński revealed that Sampdoria has requested his loyalty and honesty, asking him to inform them if he begins talks with another club.
When asked about a potential return to Legia Warsaw, Bereszyński diplomatically replied that he never says „never” or „no.” Having spent four years with Legia, where he won four Polish championships, three Polish Cups, and played in the Champions League, Bereszyński hinted that he might consider returning to his homeland. However, he emphasized his desire to continue playing at a higher level than the Ekstraklasa, preferably in Italy or another European country.
Bereszyński’s impressive career statistics are a testament to his dedication and perseverance. With 57 caps for the Polish national team, he has established himself as one of the most reliable defenders in the country. His recent appearances for Poland, including the 2:0 win against Malta, demonstrate his ability to bounce back from injuries and continue performing at a high level.
In an era where player loyalty is often questioned, Bereszyński’s commitment to Sampdoria and his family is a refreshing change. His decision to put family first and consider their opinions before making a decision is a testament to his character and values.
As the season draws to a close, Bereszyński’s future remains uncertain. Will he extend his stay at Sampdoria or explore new opportunities in Italy or beyond? One thing is certain: Bartosz Bereszyński will continue to be a force to be reckoned with in European football.
