Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl reported that Puszcza Niepołomice was allegedly negotiating the transfer of Jakub Szymański from Wisła Płock. However, these reports were firmly denied by the president of the Małopolska club, Jarosław Pieprzyca, who stated on social media, 'We are not in talks with player Szymański and he will definitely not join Puszcza.'

Jakub Szymański might join Puszcza Niepołomice to occupy the defensive position if Artur Crăciun departs. The 22-year-old has seen a decline in his standing within Wisła Płock's team and faces uncertainty about reclaiming it after the winter preparations. This situation does not favor his prospects of competing for a place in the U-21 European Championships squad. As a result, he would likely consider the opportunity to advance to the Ekstraklasa level if a position becomes available in Puszcza Niepołomice's defense. Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl indicated that Puszcza Niepołomice is contemplating ending their collaboration with Artur Crăciun earlier than planned due to his contract expiring in six months and the unlikelihood of renewal. Consequently, the club is looking to recruit a new defender, with Jakub Szymański being identified as a potential candidate for the role.
