Widzew Łódź attempted to sign Mateusz Kochalski, and the player was receptive to the transfer. However, Karabakh FK prevented the transfer. After Widzew Łódź understood they could not persuade the Azerbaijani club, they resumed their pursuit of Drągowski.

Widzew Lodz is interested in signing Polish goalkeeper Mateusz Kochalski. The club's interest is not new, as they also wanted the 25-year-old in the summer but signed other goalkeepers instead. Since that time, Kochalski's price has increased significantly, but it is reported that this does not prevent a transaction. Kochalski was recently linked with Borussia Dortmund, although that move is not expected to happen. He has a contract with Qarabag until the summer of 2027, which includes an option for an additional 12 months, and the situation is described as developing. He joined the Azerbaijani club from Stal Mielec in August 2024 for a fee reported to be €900K. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.00m. He has not yet been capped by the Polish national team.
