The Nix are about to cop a $1M income drop (reduced TV rights payment) for next season. They can't afford to keep Zawada. Barba & Kraev (who they more want to keep) could be asking for payrises. As could be some the young Kiwi players who are all now more valuable, than they were when signing out of the Academy last season. Letting the Pole go, is the easiest way to alleviate some of that coming wages/cashflow pressure. Next is selling Surman and/or Old.

I think Auckland will be targeting at least one ex EPL player. Plenty of expats Brits (Euro snobs) in the upper North Island. Plus it's just good marketing full stop.

Zawada himself has high marketability & X factor. Good looking dude, who is a bit out there for Kiwis with his supreme confidence ('I'm the best striker in this league') and he may yet get a winning goal(s) for the Nix in the next few weeks.

On a football level he's proven in this league, and still relatively young at 28. Yipe injury prone, but again you make him do medicals plus get good specialist advice that he is fully recovered from his latest ailment. Sure some risk signing him, but I imagine he won't be the highest profile visa player Auckland aim to sign. So if he is a constant sick bay flop, not the end of the world.
