In a major boost for Lech Poznań and their supporters, Portuguese midfielder Afonso Sousa has signed a new long-term contract that will keep him at the club until 2032. The announcement was made earlier today by the club, signaling their strong intent to build for the future around one of their most talented and consistent performers.
Sousa, 24, joined Lech Poznań in 2022 and has since become a key figure in the team’s midfield. Known for his technical ability, vision, and tireless work ethic, he quickly endeared himself to fans and earned the trust of successive managers. His contributions have been vital in both domestic competitions and European campaigns.
The new contract is a significant show of faith by the club, and it also underlines Sousa’s commitment to the project in Poznań. Extending his stay until 2032 is not just a routine contract renewal—it’s a long-term partnership rarely seen in modern football, where short-term deals and frequent transfers are the norm.
Club officials expressed their delight at securing Sousa’s services for the foreseeable future. In an official statement, the club’s sporting director said: “Afonso is a player with exceptional quality and professionalism. His attitude on and off the pitch sets a great example for others. We are thrilled that he sees his future with Lech Poznań and believes in what we are building here.”
For Sousa, the decision was driven by his love for the club and its passionate fanbase. “Since I arrived, I’ve felt at home here. The support from the fans, the atmosphere at the stadium, and the ambition of the club made this decision very easy for me,” he said in a press conference following the announcement.
Lech Poznań are currently in the process of strengthening their squad and infrastructure, with a clear aim to challenge for top honors in the Polish Ekstraklasa and make a deeper run in European competitions. Securing the long-term future of a player like Sousa is a cornerstone move in that strategy.
With Sousa now tied to the club until 2032, Lech Poznań fans can look forward to many more seasons of creativity, passion, and leadership from one of their most beloved midfielders.
