Raków Częstochowa aims to complete two more signings before the summer transfer window closes. The club from Jasna Góra, mired in a crisis after five consecutive league defeats, is in desperate need of reinforcements.
Radosław Baran provided the information about the planned transfer moves on Wednesday. The situation at the club is difficult, with Medaliki sitting in last, 18th place in the Ekstraklasa table with zero points from five matches. Their goal difference stands at 6 scored and 13 conceded.
What is Raków's current situation?
Raków Częstochowa is experiencing its toughest period since promotion to the top flight. The team has lost all five matches in the new season, with their recent form marked as LLLLL. A 2-1 home defeat to Górnik Zabrze in a postponed fixture followed an earlier elimination by Hajduk Split in the fourth qualifying round for the UEFA Europa Conference League. This deprived the club of European revenue and prestige.
The club had already signed Ádin Molnár, Marko Perović, and Mahir Emreli earlier in this transfer window. These moves, however, have not translated into improved results. The squad is also currently missing the injured Erick Otieno, limiting the manager's options. The full squad status can be checked on our squad page.
When could the new transfers happen?
Radosław Baran indicated that work on acquiring new players is ongoing. "It seems that in the final days of the transfer window in Poland there will be two more reinforcements involving quite interesting players." Baran said.
The transfer window in the Ekstraklasa closes soon, so time for action is very limited. The club's management is aware that without fresh blood it will be hard to reverse the negative trend. Decisions must be made quickly so new players can integrate with the team as soon as possible.
What are the prospects for the coming weeks?
Raków's next test will be an away match against Lech Poznań. This is a clash with the league leaders, who already hold a 13-point advantage over the team from Częstochowa. Before this match, the club has time to integrate potential new signings.
The upcoming schedule is also unforgiving. After the match with Lech, Raków faces a trip to Warsaw to play second-placed Legia, scheduled for November 7, 2026. The current fixtures schedule shows a difficult period ahead for the team. The club has a huge gap to close in the standings, and every point will be precious.
The ultimate success or failure of Raków Częstochowa's transfer mission will be revealed in the coming days. The club hopes new players will help stop the terrible run and begin the fight for survival in the Ekstraklasa. The next league match is against Lech Poznań.
