Wisła Kraków Transfer Collapse: Joshua Zimmerman Deal Falls Through After Medical Setback
By Nathaniel — August 30, 2025
Wisła Kraków’s summer transfer window took an unexpected turn this morning as the club officially confirmed that negotiations with Curacao international Joshua Zimmerman have collapsed. The 12-cap winger was poised to become the latest addition to the squad, but medical tests revealed complications that halted the deal at the final hour.
Zimmerman, 27, had already arrived in Kraków and was reportedly enthusiastic about joining the Ekstraklasa side. Sources close to the club described the agreement as “virtually done,” with personal terms settled and a multi-year contract drafted. However, routine medical examinations flagged concerns that ultimately proved insurmountable.
“This is a disappointment for everyone involved,” a club spokesperson said. “Joshua is a talented player with international pedigree, but we must prioritize long-term fitness and squad stability.”
The failed signing leaves Wisła Kraków with a gap in their attacking depth, especially after recent departures in midfield. Zimmerman, who last played in the Dutch Eerste Divisie, will now return to free agency as he assesses his next move.
For Wisła, the search continues—with scouts reportedly eyeing alternatives in Belgium and Scandinavia. But for now, the Zimmerman saga serves as a sobering reminder that in football, even the most promising deals can unravel in a heartbeat.
