Pogoń Szczecin is negotiating a sensational transfer for striker Dawid Kownacki. The Ekstraklasa club aims to strengthen its attack ahead of the autumn round, which begins with a home match against Śląsk Wrocław on November 21.
According to information from the KanalSportowy.pl portal, the 7-time Polish international is close to signing a contract with the Pride of Pomerania. This deal would be the team's sixth reinforcement during the current transfer window. The club has previously signed Attila Szala, Darko Czurlinow, Łukasz Willen, Jean-Pierre Nsame and Nikolaos Botisa.
What are the proposed contract terms?
Dawid Kownacki is set to sign a two-year deal with Portowcy. The contract includes an option to extend for an additional 12 months. This is a potentially important boost for a squad that will soon have to cope without the injured Rajmund Molnár. The current squad status can be followed on our squad page.
The striker brings extensive experience from Polish and foreign leagues. For Lech Poznań, he played over 130 matches, scoring 32 goals and providing 14 assists. In 2017, he moved to Italian side Sampdoria, where he made 35 Serie A appearances and scored 6 times.
Where did Kownacki play after leaving Poland?
After his Italian stint, Dawid Kownacki continued his career in Germany. He played successively for Fortuna Düsseldorf, Werder Bremen and Hertha Berlin. In total, he made 52 Bundesliga appearances, scoring four goals. This type of experience could prove invaluable for the younger members of the Pogoń Szczecin squad.
Mateusz Borek commented on the situation saying: "The 7-time Polish international is close to the Pride of Pomerania. The Werder Bremen sniper would sign a two-year deal with Portowcy."
How will the transfer affect the Pogoń Szczecin squad?
The addition of an experienced striker will change the balance of power in Portowcy's attack. Kownacki could form a partnership with Jean-Pierre Nsame or compete for a starting spot with other players. The club is preparing for an important period, and the full match schedule is available on the fixtures page.
This strategic move shows the ambitions of the Pogoń Szczecin board ahead of the second part of the season. The team's current position in the table can be checked in the standings. Success in negotiations with Kownacki would send a clear signal to Ekstraklasa competitors.
Dawid Kownacki will sign a contract until the end of June 2028, with the possibility of extending the cooperation for another season.
