Górnik Zabrze, set to play the Polish Super Cup soon, is negotiating the signing of Alex Opoku Sarfo, a 21‑year‑old defensive midfielder from Cyprus, with a price tag of €1 million.

Who is Alex Opoku Sarfo?

Alex Opoku Sarfo is a young Ghanaian who logged 14 appearances for Russian side Pari Nizhniy Novgorod on loan from Aris Limassol last season. In total he has 34 matches for the Cypriot club and one goal. Transfermarkt values him at €1 million.

Why does Górnik Zabrze need reinforcement?

The three‑coloured side is entering what could be its most demanding season in years, competing in the league, the Super Cup and Champions League qualifiers. Coach Sacha Tavolieri stresses that a solid midfield anchor is essential to juggle these three fronts. The current roster lacks a player with Sarfo’s defensive discipline and quick transition ability.

What are the transfer terms?

Belgian side Royal Charleroi Sporting Club is also interested and ready to offer €500 thousand. However, Aris Limassol’s owners have set a €1 million asking price, meaning Górnik Zabrze would need to meet a figure twice as high as the Belgian bid.

What happens if the deal goes through?

Górnik Zabrze aims to register Sarfo before the Super Cup clash with Lech Poznań on 12 July 2026. Should the transfer be completed, the midfielder could start immediately in the first eleven, boosting the club’s chances in the Champions League qualifiers that kick off in August.
