Widzew Lodz paid €5.5m for Osman Bukari. Against the club's own history of paying for forwards, that is the 1st largest such fee on record.
| Player | From | Fee | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andi Zeqiri | Genk | €2.0m | 2025/26 |
| Mariusz Fornalczyk | Korona Kielce | €1.5m | 2025/26 |
| Samuel Akere | Botev Plovdiv | €750k | 2025/26 |
| Mariusz Stępiński | Pogon Z. W. | €13k | 2011/12 |
A club's own precedent is the only fair yardstick for whether a fee is a departure for it. A number that looks enormous league-wide can be routine for one buyer, and a modest one can be a record for another.
