There’s a claim in the Turkish media that Antalyaspor midfielder Jakub Kaluzinski has rejected a transfer to Cardiff City.

The Championship side are looking to bolster their squad in this transfer window following their struggles in the league this season, but it seems they may have to look at alternatives.

Resat Can Ozbudak reports via social media that Cardiff City have tabled an official offer with Antalyaspor to sign the Poland international this month.

The 22-year-old has impressed for the Super Lig side since his move from Lechia Gdańsk, and was linked with a transfer to Celtic during the last summer window.

However, the midfielder has turned down the chance to sign for Cardiff City because he’s holding out for a bigger club, according to the Turkish journalist.

We covered claims from Turkey during the summer that Celtic had been monitoring Kaluzinski and that an offer in the region of €4m could get a deal done for the player.

La Liga side Real Valladolid were also said to be interested, with reports they were in talks to sign him.

Kaluzinski has made 12 league appearances for Antalyaspor this season and is contracted until June 2026, with the option of another year.
