Maik Nawrocki, born in Bremen on 7 February 2001 (age 25), is an imposing 6ft 3in (1.90m) Polish centre-half now with Lens.
His career has been shaped most clearly by Legia Warsaw. Across two league seasons there he made 44 appearances and scored five goals, with his most productive campaign coming in 2022-23, when he scored four times in 25 league games. That was the spell which put him properly on the map.
Celtic signed Nawrocki from Legia in July 2023 for around £4.5m. His time in Glasgow brought a Premiership title, a League Cup and a Scottish Cup in 2024-25, as well as a Scottish Cup runners-up finish. Lens were linked with him in January 2025, and he left Celtic for the French club in July 2026 for around £2.5m.
His current market value is around £1.5m, according to Transfermarkt. Nawrocki’s career so far is that of a defender defined by Legia, given a trophy-winning spell at Celtic, and now continuing at Lens.
