Lech Poznań has turned down a major transfer bid and drawn a thrilling league match. These developments, reported by various outlets, come as the club sits second in the Ekstraklasa table.
Why did Lech reject the offer for Wålemark?
According to information from Szymon Janczyk of Weszlo.com, FC Copenhagen made an offer for Patrik Wålemark. The portal Transfery.info reported that the total fee, achievable through bonuses, was five million euros. Lech Poznań firmly rejected this proposal.
The club from Bułgarska Street considers the Swedish winger too important for the squad. The management has no intention of parting with the player during the ongoing transfer window. They are counting on his abilities in the upcoming three-front campaign. Any potential move would only be considered with a "cosmic" offer, as Janczyk reports.
How did the draw with Widzew unfold?
Sport.pl reported that the match in Łódź ended 3:3. Lech took the lead in the 6th minute through Antoni Kozubal, and Allahyar Sayyadmanesh made it 2:0 in the 22nd. Widzew responded with goals from Karol Świderski and Mariusz Fornalczyk, equalizing in the 95th minute.
Lech's goalkeeper, Mateusz Lis, had to intervene on several dangerous shots from the opponents. Despite leading, Poznań allowed the hosts to come back. The dramatic goal in added time earned Widzew a point. Lech currently has 10 points from four rounds, placing them second in the table, two points behind Legia Warszawa.

How much did Lech earn from the qualifiers?
By advancing to the UEFA Europa League league phase, the club accumulated significant funds. As reported by Transfery.info, Lech Poznań leads Polish teams in earnings from European cup qualifiers for the 2026/2027 season. The total prize money from UEFA amounted to 4.835 million euros.
Second place was taken by Jagiellonia Białystok with 4.66 million euros. The other Polish clubs that were eliminated in the qualifiers earned considerably less. The financial success is important ahead of the autumn Europa League campaign, where a win pays 450 thousand euros.
What are the plans for the coming weeks?
Niels Frederiksen's team is preparing for another away match. Lech's next league opponent will be Wisła Płock, whom they face on December 17, 2026. Wisła currently occupies 16th place in the Ekstraklasa table.
Lech Poznań has scored eight goals and conceded three this season, giving them a +5 goal difference. Their current form reads three wins and one draw. Ahead of the clash with Wisła Płock, the club will want to maintain its good run. The full match schedule is available on our fixtures page.
