Although Team Sky have been relatively quiet so far on the transfer market, Cyclingnews can confirm that Lukasz Wisniowski is close to signing a deal and joining from Etixx-QuickStep. The British WorldTour team are also set to re-sign Sergio Henao.
Two riders who have already announced their departure from Team Sky are Nicolas Roche, who heads to BMC Racing, and Xavier Zandio, who is set to retire at the end of the season. Andrew Fenn is also looking at options away from the team.
Wisniowski, 24, would link up with former world champion and compatriot Michal Kwiatkowski should he join the team.

“He’s close to going there and I’ve told Patrick Lefevere. I’ve been in contact with Sky and we’re working on a contract,” Wisniowski’s agent, Giuseppe Acquadro told Cyclingnews.
The Pole’s future looked unclear last week when, despite links to Team Sky, Lefevere told Cyclingnews that a one-year deal had been reached between the rider and Etixx. Acquadro was quick to deny this and in the last few days Lefevere confirmed to Cyclingnews that he had gone straight to Team Sky’s Dave Brailsford, and swapped texts over the future of Wisniowski.
“I texted him. He replied a few days later because he said he was sick,” Lefevere told Cyclingnews.
