Pogoń Szczecin has loaned midfielder Mads Agger to Swedish club BK Häcken. The deal was confirmed this week by Radio Szczecin.
The loan agreement runs until the end of 2026. It also includes an option for the Swedish club to purchase the player. Mads Agger joined Pogoń Szczecin in February of this year. The 26-year-old Dane made 13 appearances for the Portowcy, scoring one goal. In the current Ekstraklasa season, he has only played in the opening match against Legia Warsaw. He came on as a substitute in the 62nd minute of that game, replacing Natan Ława. The Gothenburg club is managed by Jens Gustafsson, the former coach of Pogoń Szczecin.
What are the terms of the loan?
The loan of Mads Agger to BK Häcken is a straight loan with an option to buy. This means the Swedish club has the right, but not the obligation, to permanently acquire the player after the loan period ends. The agreement is valid until 31 December 2026. This solution gives both clubs time to assess the situation. For Pogoń, it's a chance to provide Agger with regular playing time, which couldn't be guaranteed in the current squad. For Häcken, it's an opportunity to test the player without a long-term commitment. Jens Gustafsson knows the realities of the Polish league well from his time working in Szczecin.
How did Agger's spell at Pogoń look?
Mads Agger signed a contract with Pogoń Szczecin in February 2026. During his few months with the team, he played a total of 13 matches in all competitions. His only goal for the Portowcy came in the spring of last season. His role in the current Ekstraklasa campaign has been very limited. He played in just one match, coming off the bench in the 62nd minute against Legia. This limited game time was the main reason behind the loan decision. The club wants the player to develop through regular appearances.
What are Pogoń's current squad issues?
The decision to loan Agger comes in the context of other changes in the squad. Currently on Pogoń's injured list is Rajmund Molnár. The status of this player can be followed on our injuries page. The club's managers must plan midfield rotation with these absences in mind. However, loaning Agger does not mean the club lacks alternatives in that part of the pitch. The squad is deep, and the coach has several other players at his disposal for that position. The current team roster is available on the squad page.
What's next in Pogoń's schedule?
The team's next test will be a home league match. Pogoń Szczecin will play at home against Śląsk Wrocław on 21 November 2026. Before that match, the team will have time for training and possibly finalising the squad. The full Ekstraklasa fixture list can be found on our fixtures page. The loan of Agger to Sweden is the club's first transfer move in this window, which has just opened. The purchase option gives the Gothenburg club flexibility in planning their squad for next season. Mads Agger has a contract with Pogoń Szczecin that runs longer than the loan period.
