Lech Poznań has started searching for a new central midfielder. Sports director Tomasz Rząsa described the profile of the player the club is looking for. Lech Poznań began its summer transfer market activities with a record transfer for Luis Palm. The Polish champion decided to activate the buyout clause for the Honduran player, which was worth around 4 million euros. However, "Kolejorz" does not slow down and is looking for a player in the number 6 position. The star of Korona Kielce or the former Bayern Munich player? Who will Lech choose? Lech Poznań was looking for a defensive midfielder in the winter transfer window. Apart from a few names in the media, Lech did not try to get the so-called sixth player at all costs. In the summer, however, "Kolejorz" will do everything to strengthen the midfield, which has not looked good for a long time in the championship season. Radosław Murawski had a serious injury, which he returned to the field only on April 26 in a match against Legia Warsaw. Lech had to wait for a long time for Pablo Rodriguez's acclimatization. Timothy Ouma, apart from a few good performances, such as against Legia Warsaw, played below expectations. Lech is also aware of the possible departure of Antoni Kozubal to the TOP 5 league, who, according to the media, has received permission to leave the club. Therefore, strengthening the midfield is a must. ❗️ @s_staszewski: I heard that Antoni Kozubal has received permission for a transfer. Let's talk about football ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/q1aAZLOPH3 — Meczyki.pl (@Meczykipl) May 10, 2026 What profile is Lech Poznań looking for? Lech Poznań's sports director, Tomasz Rząsa, also confirmed the desire to strengthen the midfield in a closed meeting with the media. The sports director also described in detail the profile of the midfielder Lech is looking for: “We are looking for someone who will compete with Radosław Murawski. A player who plays in front of the defenders, can turn the ball, play between the lines. In defense, he can quickly react, cover the spaces: secure the sides and in front of the defenders. Strength, winning second balls, is our profile of the sixth player.” Despite information about interest in Kamile Jakubczyk or Karol Linetty, it seems that Lech has already chosen two main candidates. ### Hit transfer within the league? The first information about Lech's interest in Tamar Svetlin was provided by Slovenian media. According to them, negotiations between Korona and Lech are already underway. Looking at the above description of the desired sixth player, Lech Poznań, Svetlin meets all the requirements except... strength. Despite this, "Kolejorz" is convinced that Svetlin's profile fits them. Korona's player has also accepted Lech's scientific work. Svetlin masks his physical shortcomings with excellent anticipation and motor skills. The Slovenian would give Lech's team even more intensity, which would be crucial in counter-pressing, which Lech has not always looked good at in the championship season. In the 2025/2026 season, Tamar Svetlin scored one goal and made one assist. 🚨 Tamar Svetlin will become a Lech Poznań player?! The Slovenian representative is leading talks about a transfer to the Polish champion. Svetlin is determined to leave Korona Kielce and is convinced of Lech's project. Korona used a similar situation before last year.… pic.twitter.com/GlBlCxirOz — Szymon Janczyk (@sz_janczyk) June 3, 2026 Korona's player is very eager to join Lech Poznań, as he said in an interview with Slovenian media: “It would be a life-changing opportunity for me. Lech plays in the European League qualifiers, which is my dream. They play football in a very dynamic way, and I want to be part of that team.” Lech Poznań hopes that Tamar Svetlin will join them soon.
