Pietuszewski in Poland squad: what it means for FC Porto's coffers | OneFootball

March 26, 2026 will be forever etched in Oskar Pietuszewski’s memory. Just a few days after being informed of his first call-up to Poland’s senior national team, the FC Porto winger did indeed make his debut for his country, helping spark the comeback against Albania and secure Jan Urban’s side a place in the World Cup qualifying play-off final.

Less than two months away from reaching adulthood, the young talent developed at Jagiellonia made the leap to the highest level for his country and, in doing so, took the first step toward fulfilling one of the objectives that will lead FC Porto’s SAD to pay more for his transfer rights.

More specifically, FC Porto signed Pietuszewski from Jagiellonia for 8 million euros, plus a further 2 million in bonuses. One of the clauses tied to that additional amount depends on the young forward’s involvement with Poland’s senior national team, as the Dragons will have to pay 125,000 euros for every block of four senior caps Oskar earns. For now, Porto’s bill remains closed, but sooner or later it will have to be opened.

Poland play again on Monday against Sweden, and everything suggests that the man of the moment will once again be an option, possibly even in the starting eleven. If Poland secure qualification for the World Cup, Pietuszewski is likely to be among those called up, which could allow him to reach four caps during the tournament. If not before then, there could still be warm-up matches along the way.

As for the more significant bonus instalments tied to Oskar’s transfer, they depend on collective targets that, for now, seem within reach in the kingdom of the Dragon: winning the league title and qualifying for the UEFA Champions League. The prodigy will become more expensive, but for good reasons.
