Club career

Michalak started his career with Czarni Żagań, but joined UKP Zielona Góra in 2009 with a teammate from Czarni. He spent high school at a boarding school, where he and his roommate were two of the only Legia supporters, and would commute to training with UKP.{{cite web|url=http://www.gazetalubuska.pl/sport/pilka-nozna/a/konrad-michalak-z-zagania-uparcie-dazy-do-realizacji-marzen,11761660/ |title=Konrad Michalak z Żagania uparcie dąży do realizacji marzeń |date=6 February 2017 |accessdate=22 March 2017 |publisher=gazetalubuska.pl |language=Polish}}

In 2013, Michalak joined boyhood club Legia Warsaw, and spent three years with the reserves, before making his debut in December 2016, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Nemanja Nikolić.{{cite web|url=http://www.dziennikzachodni.pl/sport/pilka-nozna/a/piast-gliwice-legia-warszawa-15-pogrom-przy-okrzei,11565929/ |title=Piast Gliwice – Legia Warszawa 1:5.

On 12 September 2023, Michalak moved to Saudi First Division League side Ohod for a reported fee of €1 million.{{cite web |title=Liga saudyjska.

Exactly a year after joining Ohod, he joined Egyptian Premier League club Zamalek on a season-long loan.{{cite web |last1=Karpowicz |first1=Kacper |title=Polski zawodnik wylądował w Egipcie.

International career

Michalak was first called up to the Poland under 20 side in September 2016, and scored on his debut against Switzerland.{{cite web|url=https://www.pzpn.pl/reprezentacje/reprezentacje-mlodziezowe/reprezentacja-u-20/aktualnosci/2016-09-01/u-20-remis-ze-szwajcaria |title=U-20: Remis ze Szwajcarią |date=1 September 2016 |accessdate=22 March 2017 |work=PZPN |language=Polish}} He was called up again in March 2017 for a friendly game against Italy.{{cite web|url=http://poznan.wyborcza.pl/poznan/7,36001,21532918,pilkarska-reprezentacja-polski-wraca-do-pily-i-zagra-z-wlochami.html?disableRedirects=true |title=Piłkarska reprezentacja Polski wraca do Piły. I zagra z Włochami |date=22 March 2017 |accessdate=22 March 2017 |publisher=poznan.wyborcza.pl |language=Polish}} Because of his call up, which coincided with call-ups for teammates Sebastian Milewski and Robert Bartczak, his club side, Sosnowiec's game against Górnik Zabrze had to be postponed as Sosnowiec would not have had enough fit senior players.{{cite web|url=http://niezalezna.pl/95347-czas-na-mecz-przyjazni |title=Czas na mecz przyjaźni |date=14 March 2017 |accessdate=22 March 2017 |publisher=niezalezna.pl |language=Polish}}

He was called up to the senior Poland squad for a friendly match with Scotland on 24 March 2022 and the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification playoff against Sweden on 29 March 2022.{{cite news
