Unlike Juan and Matsuki, Poland international Mateusz Lis joined Southampton in 2022 and went on a permanent transfer to Goztepe. Lis spent the previous season on-loan at the Turkish side and helped them achieve promotion to the first division.
His impressive performances last season were rewarded with a permanent move and Lis re-joined Goztepe as they prepared for the new season. Lis made his first start in the new 2024/25 campaign against Alanyaspor in a 1-1 draw and has managed to register two clean sheets in his five appearances for Stanimir Stoilov's side.
The former Southampton keeper is gradually establishing himself as the starting goalkeeper at Goztepe as he prepares to play a key role in Goztepe's aim to avoid relegation this season.
