David Křčík Targeted: Legia and Widzew in Transfer Battle for Czech Defender
Warsaw, Poland – The winter transfer window is heating up in the Ekstraklasa, with Legia Warszawa and Widzew Łódź both eyeing a move for David Křčík, the 26‑year‑old center‑back currently playing for MFK Karviná in the Czech league.
Křčík has emerged as one of the most consistent defenders in the Czech First League, combining solid aerial ability with composure on the ball. His performances this season have attracted scouts from Poland, where both Legia and Widzew are looking to strengthen their defensive lines ahead of the spring campaign.

Widzew’s Ambition
Widzew Łódź, meanwhile, are keen to bolster their squad as they push for a top‑half finish. The club’s management believes Křčík’s experience and leadership could provide the defensive solidity needed to compete with the league’s stronger sides.
