The centre-back is a wanted man this summer
Stoke City are being linked with a bid for Poland and Jagiellonia Białystok centre-back Mateusz Skrzypczak.
The Polish press claim that Stoke, Widzew Lodz, Rapid Vienna and Skrzypczak’s first club Lech Poznan are all keen on the defender, who has won his first two senior international caps this year.
Skrzypczak is reported to have a release clause of about 900,000 euros.
Meczyki report: “Mateusz Skrzypczak has had a breakthrough season. As a Jagiellonia player, he was named defender of the year and was also called up to the national team.
“The 24-year-old could soon become the subject of an interesting transfer. This is facilitated by the relatively low release clause
“The stopper has already received an offer from Widzew, which is very attractive financially. However, the Łódź team must expect competition from Lech.
“We also cannot forget about the interest from foreign teams. According to our information, the leader of the “Pride of Podlasie” is on the radars of Stoke City and Rapid Vienna.”
Stoke are in the market for a centre-back after Ashley Phillips returned to Tottenham Hotspur following a season on loan and Michael Rose was released.
