Motor Lublin owner Zbigniew Jakubas confirmed the club is actively working to secure two reinforcements during the upcoming winter transfer window. Speaking after the team's victory against Wisła Płock, Jakubas stated that discussions are underway with head coach Mariusz Misiura regarding the specific need to fill two positions within the squad. The owner emphasized that these additions are viewed as necessary for the team's continued development.

In addition to player recruitment, the club is addressing administrative changes following the departure of sporting director Veljko Nikitović. Jakubas revealed that Motor Lublin is currently engaged in deeply advanced negotiations with a candidate to succeed Nikitović. Despite this vacancy, the owner assured stakeholders that the temporary absence of a sporting director has not impeded the club's operational capabilities or transfer preparations.

Jakubas made these announcements during an unexpected appearance at the post-match press conference, where he chose to clarify matters regarding player futures and recruitment strategy. He reiterated his demand for significant responsibility and diligence from all personnel associated with the organization. Regarding the prospective signings, he stated definitively that if the two transfers are deemed necessary during the winter window, they will be completed.
