Afimico Pululu: Widzew Łódź linked with move for Jagiellonia’s Franco‑Congolese forward

DR Congo–France centre-forward Afimico Pululu is being linked with a switch from Jagiellonia Białystok to Ekstraklasa rivals Widzew Łódź, with the 27-year-old’s situation under scrutiny amid uncertainty over his contract status in Poland.

Transfermarkt data lists Pululu’s current market value at €4.00m, and he is currently registered with Jagiellonia, where he wears the number 10 shirt. However, no contract expiry date is recorded for the attacker, fuelling suggestions that he could be heading towards free agent territory if no new deal is agreed and if an exit is sanctioned. The reported probability of a move is marked only as “?”, underlining that talks, if any, remain at a speculative stage.

Pululu, a left-footed centre-forward standing 1.75m tall, holds dual nationality with DR Congo and France, and was born on 23 March 1999 in Luanda. He is listed primarily as an attacking spearhead but is capable of operating across the front line. Having established himself in the Polish top flight with Jagiellonia in the Ekstraklasa, his performances have now drawn internal league interest from Widzew, who are looking to strengthen their attacking options.

In recent weeks, Pululu has continued to feature for Jagiellonia in league action. In his latest outing, recorded in the current campaign, he played in the Ekstraklasa against domestic opposition, contributing from the front as Jagiellonia sought to maintain their standing in the table. The match, played shortly before the latest round of transfer speculation dated 3 June 2026, ended with Jagiellonia involved in a competitive scoreline in which Pululu again underscored his role as a focal point in attack, even if he did not decisively alter the result.

The timing of the rumour is notable. With the Ekstraklasa season moving towards another busy summer window, clubs are already positioning themselves to exploit potential contract situations, especially where players could become available for reduced fees or even as free agents. Pululu’s lack of publicly listed contract end date means Jagiellonia’s leverage is unclear, raising the prospect that Widzew may attempt to secure value either via a cut‑price deal or by monitoring him should his deal run down.

Pululu’s profile on Transfermarkt reflects a player in his prime. At 27, and valued at €4.00m, he sits in the bracket of forwards considered established but still with resale potential. His combination of mobility, left‑footed finishing and experience in a physically demanding league like the Ekstraklasa offers an appealing package for clubs seeking a ready-made front man rather than a developmental project.

Jagiellonia have been making use of his versatility up front, while his dual background with DR Congo and France adds to his appeal in a market where clubs often look for players comfortable in different footballing cultures. Although listed with Jagiellonia Białystok rather than an international side at national-team level, his multinational profile and age suggest there is still scope for his career narrative to evolve, whether domestically or abroad.

For now, the link remains just that – a rumour logged on 3 June 2026, without confirmation of formal talks or a concrete fee. There is no indication yet of an agreement between the clubs, nor any suggestion that personal terms have been discussed, and the uncertainty over his contract only adds to the opacity of the situation.

If a move to Widzew Łódź does materialise, it would mark a significant intra‑league switch for Pululu, offering him a fresh platform in the Ekstraklasa to justify his €4.00m valuation and potentially redefine his trajectory at a crucial stage in his career.
