Matej Rodin was initially looking for offers from wealthier employers, and Widzew Łódź was in the race to sign him, according to Maciej Słomiński from Trojmiasto.pl. Alongside Widzew Łódź, Hajduk Split was also a contender for his signature. Despite the interest, Matej Rodin is now expected to sign with Lechia Gdańsk, as the club has been pursuing him for several weeks. Rodin, who is currently a free agent after his contract with Rakow Częstochowa expired in June, brings valuable experience from nearly 100 appearances in the Ekstraklasa.
