Cracovia sells Oskar Wójcik for €6 million to Werder Bremen

Cracovia officially confirmed that 22‑year‑old striker Oskar Wójcik is moving to Werder Bremen for an estimated fee of six million euros plus bonuses. The transfer, announced on July 8, 2026, becomes the club's most expensive deal after the record sales of Bartosz Kapustka and Krzysztof Piątek.

Why is this transfer significant for Cracovia?

Wójcik, who has logged 46 appearances and six goals in the PKO Ekstraklasa this season, earned his first call‑up to the Polish national team in May. His rapid development attracted attention beyond Poland. For Cracovia, the deal brings a substantial cash influx and the opportunity to reinvest in young talents that could be sold for similar sums.

What are Wójcik's prospects in the Bundesliga?

At Werder Bremen, Oskar will join two fellow Poles – striker Dawid Kownacki, back from a loan at Hertha Berlin, and midfielder Dariusz Stalmach, who recently signed after a move from 1. FC Magdeburg. Bremen struggled last season, finishing 15th and staying up by just three points. Adding a promising youngster may boost their attack and aid a push for a higher league finish.

How does the deal affect Cracovia's current situation?

Cracovia currently sits 13th in the Ekstraklasa, holding 42 points after 34 games (9 wins, 15 draws, 10 losses) with recent form DDDDD. The team has scored 39 goals and conceded 42, leaving a –3 goal difference. They remain 18 points behind leaders Lech Poznań. The sale of Wójcik should improve the club’s finances, but it also creates a gap in the forward line that the manager must address.

What’s next after the transfer?

Once paperwork is finalized, Wójcik is set to join Werder’s training sessions next week. Cracovia plans to use the transfer funds for defensive reinforcements and further academy development. The club hopes that young players, inspired by Wójcik’s success, will aim for similar international opportunities.
