Zagłębie Lubin in Poland showed interest in potentially bringing Patryk Lipski back to his home country. This possibility arose after discussions with Enosi Neon Ypsona. However, Lipski's career took an unexpected turn as he began negotiations with Zira FK, a club in the Azerbaijani Premier League. Despite his successful time at Ethnikos Achna, where he played 41 matches, scored five goals, and provided ten assists, his contract was not renewed, making him available for a free transfer. Although Zagłębie Lubin was eager to have him return to Poland, the appealing opportunity to join Zira FK, which recently finished as runner-up in their domestic league and earned a spot in the Europa Conference League qualifiers, has introduced a new aspect to his transfer story.
