I liga club Stal Rzeszów invited 22-year-old Colombian centre-forward Javier Mateo Ortíz for a trial, but his current club, Czarni Połaniec, rejected it. Czarni Połaniec reportedly blocked the trial because the club considers his autumn performances, which include 15 goals and 3 assists in 14 appearances in the Betclic 3 Liga, to be a sufficient recommendation. Approximately twelve teams, including Warta Poznań, have inquired about the player, who has 2 caps for the Colombia U19 team. Other interested parties include top II liga clubs and I liga teams such as Ruch Chorzów. Media reports mentioned Polonia Bytom as an interested party, but the club has since stated it does not intend to sign him this winter. Czarni Połaniec hopes for a profit of around 100,000 PLN, as the player's contract expires in June, which makes this the last opportunity for a cash transfer. The player's future is expected to be decided by January 15. The player himself admits that he wants to move to a higher level during the winter transfer window.
