Pogoń Szczecin owner attacks Masłowski over controversial Czurlinow transfer
Pogoń Szczecin found itself at the center of controversy after the transfer of Darko Czurlinow, who was set to join Widzew Łódź but ultimately signed with the Szczecin team. The dispute between Alex Haditaghi, owner of Pogoń, and Robert Dobrzycki, owner of Widzew, escalated after a private message from Łukasz Masłowski, the future sports director of Widzew. Haditaghi responded sharply, and journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk revealed that the conflict may have a personal background.
What happened with Czurlinow's transfer?
Darko Czurlinow, a representative of North Macedonia, was supposed to join Widzew Łódź. The club from Łódź planned to announce the transfer during the match against Motor Lublin, but the player did not show up for medical tests and decided to accept Pogoń Szczecin's offer. This caused tension between Haditaghi and Dobrzycki, who compared the situation to inviting a woman to dinner, who is not obliged to marry you.
Why did Haditaghi attack Masłowski?
In response to the post, Haditaghi published a private message from Masłowski, who is set to start working at Widzew Łódź on August 10. Masłowski wrote that in life, respect, honor, and honesty matter, not money. Haditaghi replied that Masłowski should know his place and respect the club's structure. Journalist Tomasz Włodarczyk revealed that Haditaghi may have been personally interested in hiring Masłowski at Pogoń Szczecin.
What's next for Pogoń Szczecin?
Pogoń Szczecin started the Ekstraklasa season with a 0:1 loss to Legia Warsaw. The next match for the Szczecin team will be on October 24 against Radomiak Radom at their home stadium. The dispute with Widzew Łódź and Masłowski may affect further transfers and relations between the clubs.
