Lech Poznań is gradually accepting the possibility of Afonso Sousa's departure from the club in the summer. The club has already made the decision to secure Bartłomiej Barański as a replacement in advance. Sousa has enjoyed a successful tenure at Lech Poznań, and it appears to be an opportune moment for him to take the next significant step in his career. While there are no concrete offers at present, the sentiment among those affiliated with the Ekstraklasa leaders is increasingly that Sousa's time with Lech is nearing its conclusion. Should a suitable offer arise, he may be permitted to transfer during the summer. Sousa is determined to leave the league as a champion and is currently concentrating on achieving that objective.

Lech Poznań acknowledges the difficulty of retaining Afonso Sousa in the summer, despite his significant contributions to the team's success in the Ekstraklasa. Club representative Piotr Rutkowski assured that there will be no winter departure for Sousa, allowing him to compete for his first national championship before any potential transfer.

Afonso Sousa has received proposals to play in other leagues, indicating interest from unspecified clubs. However, Lech Poznan was resolute and did not want to negotiate with any club because they value him highly. His father, Ricardo Sousa, mentioned that Afonso is ambitious and aims to play in different championships.
