Bartłomiej Barański, an 18-year-old attacking midfielder from Ruch Chorzów, was reportedly close to joining Motor Lublin. However, the latest updates indicate that Widzew Łódź is now the main contender for his signature. His contract expires at the end of the current season, and his performance has attracted interest from clubs in the Polish top league.

Motor Lublin, a team newly promoted to the Ekstraklasa, is reportedly on the verge of finalizing an agreement for the transfer of Bartłomiej Barański. According to Tomasz Włodarczyk, Motor Lublin has made this transfer a priority. Although Dawid Szulczek, who is associated with Barański's current club, has expressed skepticism about the player's potential departure, the negotiations with Motor Lublin are described as substantial. Barański is considering whether to complete the season with Ruch Chorzów or make a move to the Ekstraklasa with Motor Lublin in January.

Motor Lublin, after a successful autumn round in the Ekstraklasa, is planning to make several transfers during the winter window. Łukasz Olkowicz from 'Przegląd Sportowy Onet' reported that Bartłomiej Barański from Ruch Chorzów has attracted their interest. The 18-year-old attacking midfielder, who has previously played for GKS Katowice and Lech Poznań, is currently playing in the I liga under the guidance of Dawid Szulczek. This season, he has scored five goals in 14 matches and was recently honored as the best player for November and December in the league's second tier. It is said that representatives from Motor Lublin are already engaged in discussions about the transfer. Barański's contract with Ruch Chorzów extends until June 30, 2025, which places Ruch in a less advantageous position for negotiations.
