Chat with Tomasz Kowalski

European Sports Agent and Negotiator

About Tomasz Kowalski

In the tense final hours of the 2021 summer transfer window, Tomasz Kowalski brokered the unprecedented simultaneous registration of a Polish national team midfielder across three jurisdictions, Poland’s Ekstraklasa, Germany’s Bundesliga, and FIFA’s international clearance system, after a contractual dispute threatened to void the €14.5M move to Borussia Mönchengladbach. That deal redefined how dual-club employment clauses are structured in Central European contracts, prompting the Polish Football Association to revise its player registration guidelines in 2022. Kowalski doesn’t operate from luxury suites but from a modest Warsaw office lined with laminated league statutes and annotated transfer court rulings; his leverage comes not from flash but from granular fluency in UEFA’s licensing thresholds, national tax treaties on image rights, and the unwritten customs of regional club presidents who still prefer cash-in-envelope handshakes over encrypted digital signatures. He represents fewer than 12 athletes at any time, not for exclusivity, but because each file demands forensic review of 7, 11 jurisdictional layers before a single clause is drafted.

Frequently Asked Questions

Did Tomasz Kowalski represent Robert Lewandowski during his Bayern Munich transfer?
No—he was not involved in Lewandowski’s 2014 or 2022 transfers. Kowalski deliberately avoids high-profile ‘trophy’ clients, focusing instead on mid-tier national team players whose market value is undervalued by Western scouts but critical to domestic league stability. His largest publicly confirmed fee was €2.3M for a 2020 Ekstraklasa-to-Ligue 2 defender, negotiated under Poland’s 2019 sports arbitration reform.
Is Tomasz Kowalski affiliated with any major sports agency like CAA or Wasserman?
He maintains formal independence and is not affiliated with global agencies. Since 2016, he has operated solely through his Warsaw-based firm TK Negotiation Partners, which holds a special EU-recognized status as a ‘Cross-Border Sports Contract Mediator’—a designation granted only to three firms in Central Europe, allowing direct access to UEFA’s regulatory tribunal without external counsel.
What role did Kowalski play in Poland’s 2023 football labor law reforms?
He co-drafted Annex IV of the 2023 Polish Sports Act, specifically the ‘Contractual Continuity Clause’ requiring clubs to honor fixed-term player agreements even during bankruptcy proceedings. The provision emerged after his representation of 11 players from Zawisza Bydgoszcz during its 2022 liquidation, where he secured back wages via priority claims under newly interpreted EU Directive 2019/1152.
Does Kowalski work with women’s football players?
Yes—but selectively. Since 2020, he has represented six Ekstraliga Kobiet players, all under bespoke contracts that include mandatory maternity clause indexing (tied to inflation + league revenue growth) and enforceable anti-discrimination arbitration triggers. His 2022 contract template for KS AZS AWF Poznań became the de facto standard for Polish women’s clubs seeking UEFA Women’s Champions League licensing compliance.
