Efthymios Koulouris returns to Polish football with Wieczysta Krakow

Greek striker Efthymios Koulouris has reached an agreement to return to the Polish Ekstraklasa, joining Wieczysta Krakow. The 30-year-old player, who was recently a free agent after departing Al-Oula in Saudi Arabia, signed the necessary documentation on August 19, 2026. Reports indicate that he will become the highest-paid player in the Polish league as part of this transfer move.

Koulouris arrived in Krakow on the morning of August 20, 2026, with the team planning to integrate him into training sessions as early as 18:00 local time. His return to Poland marks a significant career move, especially as recent speculation had linked the player to various clubs in Qatar and his former club, PAOK. This transfer follows his successful previous stint in Poland with Pogon, where he recorded 52 goals and 6 assists in 84 appearances across two seasons.

The swift turnaround in his recruitment occurred despite earlier reports that suggested a return to the Polish championship was unlikely. The athlete is expected to immediately begin preparations for the upcoming season with his new team.
