Dawid Kownacki, a Polish centre-forward, is in advanced negotiations to join Pogoń Szczecin, with talks ongoing about the terms of his departure from SV Werder Bremen. The 29-year-old, who spent the previous season on loan at Hertha in the 2. Bundesliga, is expected to sign a two-year contract with an option for an additional season. Pogoń also has a strong interest in hiring Polish players. Before this development, Kownacki had been linked with other Polish clubs such as Korona Kielce, Widzew Łódź, and Wieczysta Kraków, as well as Hannover 96 in Germany.
In contrast, Lech Poznań's sporting director Tomasz Rząsa had mentioned on Kanale Sportowym that his club was not considering a move for the player at this time. An earlier report from 'Bild' had suggested Kownacki would likely stay at Werder, but a transfer to Poland is still possible as the country's window remains open until September 9th. Kownacki joined Werder Bremen in July 2023 and has a contract with the club until June 30, 2027. He has 7 caps and 1 goal for Poland, and his current Transfermarkt market value is €1.50m.
