African Giant and Resurgent Widzew Compete for Striker Afimico Pululu
Afimico Pululu, currently under contract with Jagiellonia Białystok until mid-year, is widely expected to seek a new club. The forward has reportedly attracted significant interest as his current deal nears its end.
Reports surfaced during the holiday period indicating that Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly had stepped up its pursuit of the DR Congo international. Sources indicated weeks ago that the African giants were keen on acquiring Pululu, and the club has been actively exploring the possibility.
Egypt and China Options Fade
Al Ahly, a dominant force in both Egypt and African football, boasts twelve African Champions League titles and the financial resources to attract top talent. However, a potential move to the Egyptian club appears unlikely, as Pululu is reportedly uninterested in the offer.
A transfer to China also seems to be off the table. Previously, a move to the Chinese Super League was discussed, with Tianjin Jinmen Tiger, who finished sixth in the league last season, emerging as a potential destination. But Pululu is now prioritizing a continued career in Europe.
Widzew Lodz in the Hunt, Competition with Karol Świderski?
With Egypt and China no longer viable options, the chances of Widzew Łódź securing Pululu’s signature appear to be increasing. The Polish club has shown considerable interest in the forward, though they are also reportedly considering Karol Świderski as a potential reinforcement.
