Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox football biography Kamil Jacek Glik (Polish pronunciation: Template:IPAc-pl;[1] born 3 February 1988) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ekstraklasa club Cracovia.[2]

The previous clubs Glik played for include Piast Gliwice from 2008 to 2010, Palermo from 2010 to 2011, Torino from 2011 to 2016 and Monaco from 2017 to 2020, the latter two of which he was appointed captain of the team. He represented Poland at UEFA Euro 2016, 2018 FIFA World Cup, Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.

Early life

Glik's paternal grandfather, Walter Glück, was Upper Silesian, he was forcibly conscripted into the Wehrmacht.[3] After the war, he stayed in what then became Poland. Glik therefore also holds German citizenship in addition to his Polish citizenship.[4][5] In his German documents, his surname is written out in German version Glück instead of the polonized version Glik.[1] Despite this, Glik has repeatedly said that he does not feel any connection with Germany and considers himself 100% Polish.[6]

Club career

Early career

Glik began his career in the youth ranks of MOSiR Jastrzębie Zdrój and WSP Wodzisław Śląski, then moved on loan to LKS Silesia Lubomia. In 2006, he moved from WSP Wodzisław Śląski to Horadada in Spain, where he was noticed by Real Madrid and registered with the club's "C" team.[7] He played there for two seasons, until 2008.

On 6 August 2008, he signed a four-year contract with Polish top division side Piast Gliwice.[8] He made his debut on 30 August 2008, when he came on as a substitute. Subsequently, he became a regular in the team's starting eleven. He played 26 games in his first season with the club, and he scored 2 goals in 28 games in the 2009–10 season.

Palermo

At the end of the season it was reported that he had begun talks with Italian side U.S. Città di Palermo;[9][10] on 7 July 2010, he signed with Sicilian club, who purchased him outright on a five-year contract. The transfer was finalised by the Lega Serie A after seven days.

He made his debut with the Rosaneri in the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League play-off round against Slovenia's Maribor (won 3–0), played as a starter. It was also his official debut in an international club competition. Following his debut he was almost never included in the first team, and until the winter break, only collected three more appearances in the group stage of the Europa League.

Bari (loan)

A few days before the official reopening of the transfer market, Palermo granted an exemption and allowed him to train – with a recovery date set for 28 December – with his new team, Bari.[11] He moved to Bari until the end of season, strongly backed by the coach Giampiero Ventura. The contract was filed on 4 January 2011,[12] and after the resumption of the league, 6 January, he was deployed as a starter in the Puglia derby, Lecce Bari (0–1), his debut in the Italian top division.[13] With the Galletti he was a starter, playing 16 games in the league and one in Coppa Italia. In the 35th round, Bari Roma (2–3), he earnt a red card and a subsequent three-match ban which effectively concluded his season. He returned to Palermo, but was not called up for the summer retreat, and was then put on the market.

Torino

On 12 July 2011, after having already supported Torino's training camp, he transferred to Turin in a co-ownership deal, in Serie B, for €300,000.[14][15]

He made his debut on 13 August in Torino Lumezzane, (1–0)[16] in the second round of Coppa Italia, played as a starter. He scored his first goal in the 34th round, in the match Torino - Reggina, later suspended due to bad weather[17] (the conclusion of the game did not change the result). At the end of the season, he was promoted to Serie A, having played 23 games in the league (with 2 goals) and one in Coppa Italia.

On 31 October 2012 he scored his first goal in Serie A in the tenth day of the league away to Lazio, opening the scoring with a header following a corner. The match finished 1–1. He played his first derby in the 2012–13 season, collecting two appearances and as many expulsions (the first player in the history of the league to be sent-off in both legs of a derby) and became an idol of the Torino fans.[18][19] On 20 June, Torino acquired his remaining contract from Palermo for a fee of €1.5 million, resolving the co-ownership.[14][20]

For the 2013–14 season, Glik was appointed captain of the team after the departure of Rolando Bianchi.[21] On 9 December 2013, he scored the winning goal, 1–0, against Lazio, in Turin. He ended the season with 34 league appearances – which concluded with Torino's qualification to the UEFA Europa League after Parma failed to obtain a UEFA license – and two goals, plus an appearance in the Coppa Italia. On 25 May 2014, he renewed his contract until 2017.[22]

On 31 July 2014, he made his debut with the Granata in international competition, playing the first leg of the third qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League, won 3–0 against the Swedes Brommapojkarna. On 24 September 2014, during an away fixture against Cagliari, he scored the momentary 1–1 in his hundredth game for Torino; Torino would win the match against the Sardinians 2–1.[23]

On 21 December 2014, at the Stadio Olimpico in Turin, he scored his first brace in Serie A during a 2–1 comeback win over Genoa.[24] On 10 January 2015, he scored the equaliser, 1–1, against Milan and on 1 March, he scored the winning goal, 1–0, against Napoli.[25] On 19 March, he scored his first goal in the Europa League with a header during the round of 16 against Zenit Saint Petersburg. His goal brought Torino to 1–0, but not enough to overcome the 2 goal deficit from the first leg. On 5 April, he scored the second goal in a momentary 2–0 lead over Atalanta (the game would end 2–1). On 20 December 2015, he renewed with the Piedmontese club until 2020.[26]

In total, he played 171 matches and scored 13 goals for Torino.

On 4 July 2016, Glik was sold to Monaco for a reported fee of €11 million plus €4 million in bonuses,[27][28] signing a four-year contract.[29] In an official statement on the Torino website, the club stated "It has been five wonderful years, intense, full of emotions and mutual satisfaction. President Cairo and the whole Torino FC salute Glik with great affection, wishing him the best that his career can offer."[30]

On 27 September 2016, Glik fired in a half-volley from the edge of the penalty box four minutes into second-half stoppage time to cancel out Javier Hernández's goal, enabling Monaco to snatch a 1–1 home draw in their 2016–17 UEFA Champions League Group E encounter against Bayer Leverkusen with their first and only shot on target of the match.[31]

Glik played a main part in the Monaco side, which won the 2016–17 Ligue 1 title making 36 appearances and scoring 6 goals.[32]

Benevento

On 11 August 2020, newly promoted Serie A club Benevento announced the signing of Glik from Monaco on a three-year contract.[33]

Cracovia

On 30 August 2023, Glik signed a two-year contract with Ekstraklasa club Cracovia.[34] Glik was also linked with Polish sides Legia Warsaw and Śląsk Wrocław, who reportedly decided not to pursue Glik's services.[35] On 20 May 2025, after missing most of the season due to a torn ACL, he extended his deal with Cracovia for another year.[36]

Style of play

Glik is a tall centre back with great physicality, but also good mobility;[44][45] his biggest strength is undoubtedly his aerial ability, both in marking and on set pieces in the opposing area.[45] He is also known for his leadership on the pitch.[46]

Personal life

Glik has two daughters with his wife Marta, whom he had known since elementary school.[47]

In 2013, Italian rapper Willie Peyote, a Torino fan, released a song named "Glik" as a homage to him.[48]
