Mats Rits had the opportunity to sign with Pogoń Szczecin in Poland, but he declined the offer. Rits, formerly of Club Brugge and Ajax, found the transfer to Poland not attractive enough.

Pogoń Szczecin is working on a major transfer for the number six position. Belgian midfielder Mats Rits, 32, from Anderlecht, who has played nearly 320 matches in the Belgian league, is on their wish list. Contact has been established, but nothing is certain yet. Anderlecht is rebuilding their midfield, and Rits has one year left on his contract. The club's owner, Alex Haditaghi, shows great ambition in acquiring a quality midfielder. According to Transfermarkt, the player's market value is €1.80m; NAC Breda has also been linked with him.
