Near the end of the winter transfer window, Arka Gdynia made a specific inquiry about a potential loan for Mateusz Żyro, a 27-year-old Polish centre-back who is no longer in the starting lineup at Widzew Łódź. Tomasz Włodarczyk of Meczyki.pl reported that the potential move did not get the player's approval. This season in the Ekstraklasa, Żyro has made 17 appearances. The former Poland U21 international's contract with Widzew runs until June 2028, and his current market value on Transfermarkt is €600k. Legia Warszawa has also been recently linked with the player.
