Lechia Gdańsk in transfer crossfire - Wjunnyk closes in on Legia Warszawa move
Lechia Gdańsk face the loss of a key player as Bohdan Wjunnyk, their 24-year-old winger, confirms he has received an offer from Legia Warszawa. The player, still recovering from injury, admits his interest in the Warsaw club. - There’s an offer from Legia, but Paolo is ignoring it - Wjunnyk told Karolina Jaskulska of Kanał Sportowy. His situation is worsening as Lechia Gdańsk, currently 17th in I Liga with zero points after a 0:3 loss to Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki, fail to support his recovery.
What the player himself says
Wjunnyk, who joined Lechia from Shakhtar Donetsk in March 2024, makes no secret of his desire to leave. He stressed the Legia offer appeals to him, but the final call rests with club owner Paolo Urfer. - The club isn’t helping me - he said. In recent weeks, the winger has also been linked with Śląsk Wrocław and Cracovia. His output for Lechia speaks for itself: last season he made 28 appearances, scored three goals and provided one assist, while in the Ekstraklasa he has 57 games, 10 goals and four assists to his name.
Why Wjunnyk’s future matters to Lechia
Losing Wjunnyk would hit Lechia Gdańsk hard as the team just kicked off its Betclic I liga campaign. The side, which lost 0:3 at home to Pogoń Grodzisk Mazowiecki on Saturday, sit 17th with zero points, have scored zero goals and conceded three for a goal difference of -3. In such a fragile start, the loss of a key player could deepen their struggles, especially since Wjunnyk is one of the few with Ekstraklasa experience.
What’s next for Wjunnyk’s transfer?
Wjunnyk’s future remains uncertain. While the player has made clear his wish to leave, the final decision depends on Urfer’s stance. If Legia Warszawa keeps up the pressure and Lechia fails to provide proper medical support for their winger, the move could still happen before the transfer window closes. Yet with Wjunnyk still recovering, his club’s call may hinge on his fitness. His next outing is scheduled for 17 October against Arka Gdynia, currently fourth in the table.
