Widzew Łódź was planning to sign Afimico Pululu, which could have been a significant reinforcement for the team in the Ekstraklasa. Fans at Al. Piłsudskiego were hopeful that the Congolese player would join the squad, but it seems that the transfer will not happen. The main reason is Pululu's high financial demands, which discouraged Robert Dobrzycki, the club's majority shareholder. It is reported that Pululu was asking for around 1.5 million euros per year, which proved to be too much for Widzew. In comparison, Andi Zeqiri earns about 1.2 million euros gross per year at Widzew Łódź, making him one of the highest-paid players in the league. The same goes for Osman Bukari, whose contract runs until June 2030 and also provides him with a high salary. In this situation, Widzew Łódź will need to look for other options to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season.
