Lukas Podolski's contract with Górnik Zabrze is set to expire on June 30th next year. Despite his reduced appearances on the field, the club is interested in extending his contract. The club's sporting director, Łukasz Milik, stated that they plan to attempt to retain him, although this will be contingent upon the season's outcome and Podolski's decision. Podolski has suggested that he is inclined to retire in the summer, but he has also hinted that he might reconsider his decision based on his personal feelings.
