Widzew Łódź has officially confirmed interest in left‑back Bartłomiej Wdowik, currently on loan at Białystok. Coach Aleksandar Vuković called him a "valuable player" and noted he could strengthen the team's defense during the upcoming transfer window.

Will Wdowik join Widzew?

The 25‑year‑old Portuguese was bought by SC Braga in the summer of 2024 for €1.6 million after leaving Jagiellonia Białystok. He played 43 matches last season, recording four assists, but did not secure a permanent spot at Jagiellonia and returned to Braga. Now, after a short loan spell in Białystok, his name has entered Widzew's discussions. Vuković admitted the decision hinges on financial aspects and tactical fit, with sporting director Artur Płatka and president Łukasz Masłowski handling the final steps.

Why is Wdowik attractive?

The coach emphasized that Wdowik isn’t a "discovery" but possesses a quality missing from the current squad. His experience in the Portuguese league and the Ekstraklasa could help Widzew climb out of the lower table. Additionally, four assists last season show an offensive contribution valuable in a two‑full‑back system. Vuković noted the club must weigh costs, but sees potential to raise defensive standards.

How likely is the transfer?

In his remarks Vuković said the name Wdowik is already "in our talks", but he did not specify how advanced negotiations are. The final decision will be made by Płatka and Masłowski, while the coach stays out of the transfer process. If an agreement is reached, Wdowik could return to the Ekstraklasa within this window, giving Widzew a chance to bolster its back line before the new season starts.

Where does Widzew stand in the table?

Currently Widzew Łódź sits 14th in the Ekstraklasa with 42 points after 34 games (12 wins, 6 draws, 16 losses). The club has scored 41 goals and conceded the same amount, resulting in a zero goal difference. They are 18 points behind leaders Lech Poznań, and their latest result was a 2‑1 win over Piast Gliwice on 23 May 2026. The last five matches record 3 wins and 2 losses, with the team on a two‑game winning streak.
