Pogoń Szczecin Has a New Striker – Filip Cuić Signs Contract

Pogoń Szczecin formally announced the acquisition of a new player on Sunday. Croatian striker Filip Cuić, who previously played for Dinamo Zagreb, has joined the club. The player has signed a contract with the Szczecin team. Pogoń Szczecin, founded in 1948, is one of the oldest and most decorated football clubs in northwestern Poland. A multiple winner of the Polish Cup and a participant in European cups, the club regularly competes for top positions in the Ekstraklasa. The transfer had been widely discussed in sports media for several days. A final agreement between the clubs was reached on Sunday, as confirmed by official statements. According to press reports, Cuić is set to play for Pogoń with the number 10 on his jersey, highlighting the expectations for his role in the team. Strengthening the attack is a priority for the Szczecin club ahead of the remainder of the season.

Filip Cuić is a Croatian footballer born in 2000. Prior to his transfer to Poland, he spent most of his career with Dinamo Zagreb, where he also progressed through all youth levels. For Dinamo's first team, he played several dozen matches, scoring goals both in the Croatian league and in European cups. His signing aims to bolster Pogoń's squad after winter departures and injuries.

This transfer fits into a broader trend of Polish clubs acquiring players from the Balkans, who are often characterized by good technique and affordable prices. For Cuić, this is his first foreign club in his career. The decision to choose the number 10, traditionally reserved for creative offensive players, indicates that the coaches expect a significant contribution from him to the team's play. Pogoń fans eagerly await his debut.
