Widzew Łódź has a long-standing interest in Arka Gdynia's 21-year-old Polish defensive midfielder, Kamil Jakubczyk, and a transfer appeared close to a conclusion. Tomasz Galiński of Sportowefakty.wp.pl had reported the player was very close to joining. However, Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl stated that Widzew has developed some doubts about finalizing the transfer, despite a belief that the deal was settled. Włodarczyk suggested that due to this hesitation, Górnik Zabrze may now more strongly pursue acquiring the player. Korona Kielce had also previously submitted a proposal for Jakubczyk. The Poland U20 international joined Arka Gdynia in July 2024, and his contract is set to expire in June 2027. In the 2025/2026 PKO BP Ekstraklasa season, he made 31 appearances, scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €1.00m. In June 2026, it was reported that Korona Kielce was ready to invest €1.00m, while GKS Katowice could reportedly pay an amount slightly above one million euro for the player.
