Górnik Zabrze has lost one of its key players, Patrik Hellebrand, who decided to transfer to Korona Kielce. The Czech midfielder was one of the leaders of the team, which finished the last season as the vice-champion of Ekstraklasa and the Polish Cup winner. Hellebrand played 39 matches, scoring four goals and providing two assists. His departure from Górnik Zabrze surprised many fans, especially since the club hoped to retain him after a successful season.

Hellebrand's transfer to Korona Kielce is a record deal, as the club paid over 1.5 million euros for him. The Czech player had a clause in his contract that was activated by a rival from Ekstraklasa. Hellebrand expressed his happiness about joining Korona, emphasizing that it is an ambitious project he wants to be part of. The contract with his new club will last until June 2029, with an option to extend for an additional year.

Górnik Zabrze not only lost Hellebrand but also another midfielder, Wiktor Nowak, who moved to Slavia Prague. These changes in the squad may impact the future of the team, which will need to find suitable replacements for these key players. Fans from Zabrze are anxiously waiting to see how the club will cope in the upcoming Ekstraklasa season without these two important players.
