Wieczysta Kraków plans to announce the acquisition of a new striker next week, according to club sporting director Sławomir Peszko. Speaking on CANAL+ Sport’s program Liga+ Extra, Peszko confirmed that strengthening the attacking position has become the team’s primary transfer focus following a severe injury to forward Stefan Feiertag.
Transfer Priorities and Market Challenges at Wieczysta Kraków
The Polish club is actively scanning the market to bolster its frontline, with Peszko revealing he is currently in contact with four prospective players. According to the sporting director, the club might even secure two forwards during the ongoing window, which remains open for another month.
“There are a few interesting names on the list, though I can’t say them now. I am in contact with four players. I hope that in the coming week one striker will join us,” Peszko stated during his appearance on CANAL+ Sport. He added that high player valuations currently make negotiations difficult.
“It is not said that there won’t be two transfers in this position. This is not easy, because for now players are very expensive. There is still a month of the transfer window,” Peszko noted.
Did you know? Wieczysta Kraków’s recent match against Lech Poznań highlighted an urgent need for depth at the central striker position (“dziewiątka”), accelerating the club’s search for an experienced reinforcement.
Targeting Proven Ekstraklasa Experience
Peszko disclosed that the primary target is a player known from the PKO BP Ekstraklasa, though he withheld the specific name. The club aims to finalize the first deal imminently while potentially waiting out high market prices for a second addition.
“Maybe we will wait a moment for this second player until the price drops. And we intended to bring the first one this week,” Peszko declared. “I think he will be known and remembered from the Ekstraklasa. I don’t know if there will be a ‘wow effect’, but for us he will certainly be an important figure. We lack a ‘nine’, which was clearly visible in the match against Lech Poznań.”
