Lech Poznan is intensifying its search for a new striker – a Portuguese forward with 10 goals this season is already within budget. The club, currently leading the Ekstraklasa with 60 points after 34 games (16 wins, 12 draws, 6 losses) and a goal balance of 62:45, wants to boost its attack before the start of the Champions League second qualifying round.

Who is the transfer target?

The young forward, 22‑year‑old Miro, spent the entire season in Portugal's second division with CD Tondela, who have just secured promotion. He featured in 32 matches, logging 1,643 minutes, netting 10 goals and providing one assist. He appeared on the scorers' list in each of the last four league games, highlighting his late‑season form.

Why does Lech need reinforcement?

In the last five matches Lech has remained unbeaten (2 wins, 3 draws) and most recently drew 2‑2 with Wisla Plock on 23 May 2026. While the defence has been solid, conceding 45 goals, the attack lacks firepower, especially after the departure of Mario Gonzalez, who was on loan from Los Angeles FC until season's end. The current striker, 29, has only six appearances for Lech, scoring once.

Is the transfer realistic?

Miro's contract with Tondela runs until June 2027, and Transfermarkt values him at €300,000. For Lech, which enjoys a stable league position and plans to invest in the squad, that fee is affordable. Moreover, the club has resources after a successful domestic and European campaign, facilitating a smooth deal.

What comes next if the signing goes through?

The new striker would immediately join preparations for the Champions League qualifiers, where Lech Poznan will face a lower‑ranked opponent in the second round. His pace and finishing, proven in the final stretch of the Portuguese season, could help maintain the four‑point lead over Gornik Zabrze and secure another title‑contending campaign.

Lech Poznan hopes to finalize negotiations quickly so the new sniper can take part in summer training camps and get ready for the challenges ahead both in Poland and Europe.
