Cremonese are being linked with a move for Legia Warszawa centre-back Steve Kapuadi, with the Serie A side reportedly exploring a deal for the DR Congo–French defender.
Kapuadi, 27, is currently valued at €3.00m and speculation in Italy and Poland suggests Cremonese are monitoring his situation in Warsaw as they look to reinforce the heart of their defence. The probability of a transfer has not been clearly defined, with the latest indication on the rumour listing the likelihood simply as “?”, underlining that talks – if any – remain at an early or uncertain stage.
The left-footed centre-back has been a regular presence for Legia in the Ekstraklasa and has seen his market value rise sharply during his time in the Polish capital, climbing from €600,000 in June 2024 to €3.00m by late 2024 and remaining at that level through 2025. His contract details at Legia are not publicly stated in the data, leaving open the possibility that he could move either for a fee or, depending on his situation, potentially as a free agent in a forthcoming window.
Born in Le Mans on 30 April 1998 and standing at 1.96m, Kapuadi brings notable physical presence and experience across several European leagues. Before joining Legia from Wisła Płock in August 2023, he played in Slovakia for AS Trenčín and Inter Bratislava, and earlier developed in Belgium with Jong KAA Gent and SV Zulte Waregem’s youth sides, having started out in France at Le Mans FC’s youth set-up and Angers SCO’s academy.
Recognised primarily as a centre-back, Kapuadi’s profile as a tall, left-footed defender fits the mould of what many Italian clubs seek for tactically disciplined back lines in Serie A. Should a move to Cremonese materialise, it could mark the next step in a steadily climbing career and offer him a prominent stage to enhance his reputation in one of Europe’s leading leagues.
