Club career
editBorn in Nienburg, Lower Saxony, Germany,[2] Mikołajewski first played at youth level for multiple Pomeranian teams and Lech Poznań,[3] before joining Parma's academy in Italy in the summer of 2022,[4] after a trial at AS Roma in the previous winter.[5][6]
He joined the Primavera squad of the Parmesan club, while the first team played the Serie B, two years after being relegated from Serie A.[7] He soon became a regular starter with the under-20 team, whilst also proving to be a prolific goalscorer in the other age groups.[8][9]
In the beginning of the 2024–25 season, he was moved to Parma's senior squad, but remained on the bench in the first four games of the season. On 6 September 2024, Mikołajewski returned to Poland to join Ekstraklasa club Zagłębie Lubin on a season-long loan.[10][11]
On 12 April 2025, Mikołajewski made his debut for Parma as a 72nd-minute substitute for Gabriel Strefezza in a 1–1 draw to Napoli in the Serie A.[12]
International career
editMikołajewski is a youth international for Poland, playing with the under-16 and under-17,[9] taking part in the 2023 European championship with the latter.[13]
He was a standout with Poland under-18s in September 2023 during a friendly tournament in Croatia that his team eventually won, scoring 5 goals in 3 games, most notably a hat-trick in a 4–0 win against Austria.[2][14][15][16]
Mikołajewski started all three games played by the under-17s at the 2023 FIFA U-17 World Cup.[17]
