Yarek Gasiorowski Hernandis (born 12 January 2005) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Eredivisie club PSV Eindhoven.
Early life Gasiorowski was born in Spain to a Polish father and a Spanish mother. His name is a Spanish adaptation of Polish name Jarek, as the first letter is replaced with Y to keep Polish ([]) instead of Spanish pronunciation ([]).One family between two flags: The long summer of Yarek Gąsiorowski // AIPS, July 12, 2023
Club career 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. In September 2022, he was named by English newspaper The Guardian as one of the best players born in 2005 worldwide.
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.
International career Gasiorowski has dual citizenship (Spain and Poland) and has received invitations to both the Spain U17s and the Poland U17s. He was called-up to the Poland U17s twice, both call-ups were however dismissed by Valencia. Afterwards, Gąsiorowski chose to play for Spain (his lack of knowledge of Polish was among the reasons). He was called up to the Spain U19s in September 2022.
Style of play Formerly a full-back, Gasiorowski is a centre-back that describes himself as a player who 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 also a long throw specialist. https://www.theguardian.com/football/ng-interactive/2022/sep/28/next-generation-2022-60-of-the-best-young-talents-in-world-football Next Generation 2022: 60 of the best young talents in world football
