Westerlo eyes Karol Borys's move back to his former club
While Karol Borys has only logged ten minutes of play this season at Westerlo, the 19‑year‑old Polish midfielder is edging closer to a return to Śląsk Wrocław, where he could regain playing time, while Manchester United and Fiorentina continue to monitor him.
Difficult spell at Westerlo
He was briefly introduced against Union, but was not part of Westerlo’s selections for the other matches. This lack of playing time reflects the player’s difficulty in establishing himself in the starting eleven.
Recruited in early 2024 from Śląsk Wrocław for two million euros, he failed to establish himself as a starter. After only four appearances, the club decided to loan him out.
During the summer of 2024, he was sent on loan to Maribor in Slovenia for two seasons. The move was intended to give him more minutes, but he was hampered by injuries.
Injuries limited his first season, allowing him to total only thirty‑two appearances with Westerlo. In total, he has played thirty‑two matches since his arrival.
Returning last summer, his future appears to be shaping away from the Belgian club, according to Polish outlet SportowyNet. The Campinois, however, is willing to cooperate for a possible exit.
Return project to Wrocław and monitoring by big clubs
Negotiations with Śląsk Wrocław are said to be well advanced, with a contract until mid‑2029 being considered. The Polish club has already opened talks with Westerlo.
If the transfer materialises, Westerlo would like to include a sell‑on percentage as well as performance‑related bonuses. The Belgian club could thus secure a nice profit should the player join a big club.
In Wrocław, Borys could benefit from more playing time, an environment he has known since his debut at sixteen. In this familiar setting, he would have the chance to revive his career.
Regarded as a great talent, he has already trialled with Manchester United and Fiorentina, two clubs that continue to keep tabs on his situation. These clubs remain attentive to his development, even though a return to Poland is looming.
