Career
[edit]On 19 August 2020, Białek joined VfL Wolfsburg on a four-year contract.[4][5] On 27 November 2020, he scored the final goal in a 5–3 home victory against Werder Bremen.[6] In late February 2021, he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during training, keeping him out of play until the following January.[7]
On 28 August 2022, Białek joined Eredivisie side Vitesse on loan.[8]
On 12 July 2023, Białek was sent on another loan, this time joining Belgian Pro League side Eupen until the end of the season.[9] Only three days later, during a pre-season friendly against Reims, he suffered another knee injury which sidelined him for the next nine months.[10] He returned to football on 7 April 2024, making his debut in the starting line-up for a 1–1 relegation play-off draw against Kortrijk.[11]
In mid-July 2024, after returning to Wolfsburg, he injured his knee again during pre-season training, and is due to be out of play for several months.[12]
