Karol Linetty, initially prioritizing staying in Italy, has opened up to other options and is expected to join Kocaelispor soon. Fans of Lech Poznań were briefly hopeful for his return, but he did not consider playing in the Polish Ekstraklasa again. This decision comes after Linetty, along with other Lech Poznań alumni, evaluated their career paths following the season. Despite his initial intent to remain on the Italian Peninsula, Linetty's openness to new opportunities has led him to the Turkish club, Kocaelispor.
