Freedom 24 Krasava ENY player Patrik Lipski revealed in an interview with a media outlet from his home country that he had received an offer from Anorthosis before the start of the current football season. However, Lipski did not accept Anorthosis's offer as Freedom 24 ENY offered better financial terms. The 31-year-old footballer stated that before joining Freedom 24 ENY, he did not have full knowledge of the club, only knowing about their recent second division title win and the presence of a Russian owner. Nevertheless, as the transfer window neared its end, his desire to remain in the same league led him to his final decision. Lipski's revelation sheds light on the negotiations that had taken place during the summer, revealing that Anorthosis had expressed interest in acquiring him. However, the financial difference ultimately determined his final choice. The interview highlights the importance of financial factors in players' decisions, even when other factors are also considered, such as knowledge of the club and the desire to stay in a specific league. His choice to join Freedom 24 ENY, despite his initial lack of knowledge about the club, demonstrates the priority he gave to financial gains.
