Pogoń Szczecin have officially strengthened their attack by signing Spanish striker Jordi Sanchez from Wisła Kraków. Sport.pl first reported the story.
The transfer was finalised this week, with Sanchez putting pen to paper on a contract lasting two to three years. The new deal also includes higher bonuses. Sanchez joins a squad whose next challenge is a league fixture against Śląsk Wrocław, as seen on the club's fixtures page. The match is scheduled for 21 November 2026 at the stadium on Twardowskiego Street.
What were Sanchez's recent performances?
Jordi Sanchez spent only eight months at Wisła Kraków but left a strong impression. He arrived in Poland in January 2026 from Japan's Hokkaido Consadole Sapporo. During the spring, he played eight matches for "The White Star", scoring six goals and providing one assist. This effectiveness caught the attention of Pogoń Szczecin's officials.
Pogoń's sporting director, Piotr Koźmiński, commented on the pace of the final stages. "Yesterday everything kicked into high gear," he said regarding the transfer completion. Sanchez is expected to bolster the forward line, especially as the team currently deals with the absence of the injured Rajmund Molnár, listed in the club's injuries report.
How was the deal between the clubs structured?
The operation was relatively straightforward, as Pogoń Szczecin simply triggered the release clause. These funds went directly into the Kraków team's coffers as full compensation for the early termination of the contract.
Wisła's president, Jarosław Królewski, in a direct message to fans, acknowledged the contract terms had been met. "Dear Fans. I want you to hear this directly from me," he wrote. For Pogoń Szczecin, this is an investment in a young striker already proven in the league, who should help achieve sporting objectives. The current team roster can be viewed on the squad page.
Where will Sanchez fit into the lineup?
The Spanish forward will bring finishing quality to Paweł Stawowy's team. His game is based on good positioning in the box and accurate shooting. Sanchez will likely compete for a starting spot with other forwards like Kamil Drygas and Valentin Cojocaru.
His arrival is important given the long-term absence of Rajmund Molnár. The young Hungarian is currently the only player listed in the injuries report, with no imminent return scheduled. Sanchez has the chance to immediately take on goal-scoring responsibilities, starting with preparations for the November fixture against Śląsk Wrocław. His contract with Pogoń Szczecin runs until the summer of 2028 or 2029.
