Afimico Pululu is being linked with a surprise Ekstraklasa switch from Jagiellonia to Widzew Łódź, with the in-demand forward’s future in Białystok increasingly under scrutiny.
The 26-year-old, listed with a market value of €4.00m, is the subject of transfer speculation within Poland, with Widzew reported as a potential destination. The move remains firmly in the rumour category, with the probability of any deal currently marked only as “?” and no indication yet of an agreed fee or formal negotiations.
Pululu’s contractual situation at Jagiellonia is unclear in the available data, and there is no publicly listed expiry date on his deal. That raises the possibility that the striker could, at some stage, become a free agent, a scenario that would significantly alter the dynamics of any move and make him a more attainable target for domestic rivals such as Widzew.
Born on 23 March 1999 in Luanda and holding DR Congo and French nationality, Pululu has built a varied career across several European leagues. Having developed through FC Basel’s youth ranks, he progressed from Basel’s U16s and U18s to the U21 side before stepping up to the first team. A loan spell at Neuchâtel Xamax in Switzerland’s top flight boosted his profile and market value, which climbed above the €1m mark during that period.
He later moved to Germany with SpVgg Greuther Fürth, experiencing the demands of German football before switching to Jagiellonia Białystok in 2023. Since arriving in Poland, his value has risen steadily, peaking at €5.00m in early 2025 before settling at the current €4.00m, underlining his status as one of the more highly rated attacking assets in the Ekstraklasa.
Naturally left-footed and operating primarily as a centre-forward, Pululu wears the number 10 shirt for Jagiellonia, reflecting his importance in the final third. Recent seasons have seen his stock grow in Białystok, prompting domestic interest and making any intra-league move a notable talking point.
The next phase of his career, whether it remains in Białystok or takes him to Łódź, could be pivotal in determining how far his potential, reputation and value continue to grow within European football.
