Official: Ex-PSG midfielder, Bordeaux graduate retires

Grzegorz Krychowiak, a midfielder trained at Girondins de Bordeaux and who notably played for Reims, Nantes, FC Sevilla, and Paris Saint-Germain, announced his retirement from sports last night at the age of 35.

"It's time to take on new challenges. (...) I am a fulfilled footballer, I have no regrets and I wouldn't change a thing. I accept my career as it was: with moments full of joy and success, but also with difficult times that taught me a lot," he wrote on social media in comments translated by L'Equipe.

The Polish international (100 caps) did not have a very impactful stint at PSG: 19 matches from 2016 to 2019, including loans to West Bromwich Albion and Lokomotiv Moscow (where he later moved as part of a transfer). It's hard to say he will truly mark the club's history, but he leaves a certain mark in Ligue 1.

After making his debut at Bordeaux (2 matches), Krychowiak particularly stood out at Reims (143 matches in total) and Nantes (44 matches). This was enough to secure a transfer to FC Sevilla, where he continued to grow over 2 seasons (2014-2016), played 90 matches, and won 2 Europa Leagues. Unfortunately, his time at PSG did not confirm his rise.

Today, after a final season at Anorthosis Famagusta (Cyprus), having also played in Russia, Greece, and Saudi Arabia, he is ending a turbulent career. We wish him courage in this new phase, which can be very unsettling for players, and we thank him for his professionalism in Paris.
