James Igbekeme has signed a new contract with Wisła Kraków, valid until mid-2026, after previous interest from other clubs.

James Igbekeme's camp began negotiations for a return to Wisła Kraków. The club agreed to the terms, and after passing medical tests, Igbekeme signed a one-year contract.

James Igbekeme is set to arrive in Kraków soon to undergo medical tests and sign a contract with Wisła Kraków. The transfer saga was complicated, involving negotiations with Wisła Kraków initially, which broke down due to high demands from Igbekeme. He then opened discussions with Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza and Śląsk Wrocław, but both did not materialize. Eventually, Igbekeme showed willingness to sign with Wisła Kraków after initial refusal from the club. A mutual agreement was reached, and he is expected to sign a one-year contract. The terms are now more favorable to the club.

James Igbekeme, who departed from Wisła Kraków during the summer, is said to be on the verge of rejoining the team. Journalist Bartosz Karcz provided this update on the 'Studio Reymonta' program on Goal.pl's YouTube channel. Igbekeme initially became part of Wisła Kraków on loan from Real Zaragoza in February 2023. After playing in 27 matches and contributing four assists, his contract was not renewed. Despite interest from other clubs like Bruk-Bet Termalica Nieciecza and Śląsk Wrocław, new negotiations with Wisła Kraków are reportedly close to a successful conclusion. Bartosz Karcz mentioned that it has been a 'lesson in humility' for the player and his agent, whose expectations have now lowered, making a return to Wisła Kraków highly probable.
