Southampton has been relegated from the Premier League, which activated a release clause in Jan Bednarek's contract. This clause allows clubs to purchase him for six million pounds (approximately seven million euros). Many clubs are reportedly interested in activating this clause, although specific clubs are not mentioned. The information is reported by Fabrizio Romano.

Jacek Bąk suggests that Jan Bednarek could benefit from a transfer to a club playing at a higher level. He mentions that Bednarek has potential to play in a team competing in European competitions. Bąk also notes that Bednarek had a stint at Aston Villa, which was a slightly better club than Southampton at the time.
