Overview
- Basaksehir FK confirmed the ablösefrei signing of 25-year-old Michal Karbownik on a three-year contract after his Hertha BSC deal expired.
- At Basaksehir he will step into Turkey's top flight and join the club for European competition as they enter UEFA Conference League qualifying.
- Karbownik joined Hertha in 2023 from Brighton for a reported €1.3 million and made 79 appearances across three seasons for the Berlin club.
- Hertha sporting director Benjamin Weber said the club held transparent talks with Karbownik and publicly thanked him as he chose to continue his career elsewhere.
- The move gives Karbownik continental exposure he lacked at Hertha and pairs him with coach Nuri Şahin and fellow Pole Jakub Kaluzinski, which could raise his profile for club and national selection.
