Legia Warsaw is moving to solidify its goalkeeping position with the expected arrival of Otto Hindrich from CFR Cluj. The transfer comes as new coach Marek Papszun seeks to reshape the Polish Ekstraklasa club following a disappointing first half of the season-currently 7th in the league-and ahead of crucial spring fixtures. Hindrich, 23, reportedly traveled with the team to Spain this week to finalize the deal, which is expected to run through the 2028-2029 season.
Legia Warsaw is bolstering its squad with a new goalkeeper, Otto Hindrich, as coach Marek Papszun looks to turn the club’s fortunes around. Papszun, who recently took the helm, confirmed the need for reinforcements in both the goalkeeping and forward positions.
Hindrich Set to Join Legia Warsaw
The 23-year-old Hindrich, currently with CFR Cluj, is expected to finalize his move to the Polish club, according to reports. TVP Sport reports that Legia officials have already made their decision to bring in the young shot-stopper. This move signals a clear intent to strengthen the team ahead of a challenging spring campaign.
Hindrich reportedly joined Legia’s training camp in Mijas, Spain, on Tuesday, with the final details of the contract expected to be completed Wednesday, according to TVP Sport.

Legia is believed to be paying around €500,000-€600,000 for the goalkeeper, with Hindrich’s contract set to run through the 2028-2029 season.
Competition for the Starting Spot
Kacper Tobiasz has been Legia Warsaw’s first-choice goalkeeper, but his current contract expires in June, leaving his future with the club uncertain. Gabriel Kobylak has served as the backup. Tobiasz’s situation adds an element of intrigue to the goalkeeping dynamic.
“Hindrich is coming to Legia to compete for a starting role,” TVP Sport reports. “He won’t be handed a guaranteed spot, but he will provide serious competition and put pressure on Tobiasz and Kobylak.”
