Yarek Gasiorowski Hernandis (born 12 January 2005) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven.
Gasiorowski was born in Spain to a Polish father and a Spanish mother. [1] His name is a Spanish adaptation of Polish name Jarek, as the first letter is replaced with Y to keep Polish ([ja]) instead of Spanish pronunciation ([xa]). [2]
Gasiorowski trialled for Valencia in 2012, and joined their academy shortly after. On 4 August 2022, he signed a professional contract with the club for 3+2 years. [3] In September 2022, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2005 worldwide. [4]
On 10 July 2025, it was announced that he had signed with PSV Eindhoven, competing in the Eredivisie, for a reported transfer fee of €9.5 million. [5]
Gasiorowski has dual citizenship (Spain and Poland) and has received invitations to both the Spain U17s and the Poland U17s. [2] He was called-up to the Poland U17s twice, both call-ups were however dismissed by Valencia. [6] Afterwards, Gąsiorowski chose to play for Spain (his lack of knowledge of Polish was among reasons). [7] [2] He was called up to the Spain U19s in September 2022. [8]
Formerly a full-back, Gasiorowski is a centre-back that likes to "bring the ball out from the back, tends to win aerial challenges, likes to be physical when needed and always close to opposition forwards.” He is a long throw specialist. [3]
