FC Barcelona has found the goalkeeper it needed to cover the absence of Marc-André ter Stegen. Wojciech Szczęsny, who recently announced his retirement from professional football, has accepted the offer from the Catalan club and becomes the new Barça goalkeeper until the end of the season.

Ter Stegen’s injury, which will keep him off the field for the rest of the season, forced Barça to search for a reliable replacement. The experienced Polish goalkeeper, with extensive experience in European football, thus becomes the solution chosen by the club's sporting management and coach Hansi Flick.

Szczęsny, who still had a contract with Juventus, decided to come out of retirement to accept Barcelona’s offer. His arrival at the Catalan club was fast-tracked thanks to the mediation of his compatriot Robert Lewandowski, with whom he shared a locker room at Bayern Munich.

The agreement between both parties was quick and straightforward. The allure of playing for Barça and the opportunity to compete at the highest level were key factors in the Polish goalkeeper’s decision to accept the club’s financial offer, which is around three million euros gross until the end of the season.

It is worth noting that Szczęsny’s registration in La Liga will not be an issue for Barcelona, as the club can take advantage of the salary margin left by Ter Stegen’s absence. Additionally, the Polish goalkeeper will also be eligible for registration in the Champions League squad.

Szczęsny is expected to debut as soon as possible

With Szczęsny’s arrival, Barcelona strengthens its goalkeeping position and ensures competition in a key role. The Polish goalkeeper will have the opportunity to prove his worth at one of the biggest clubs in the world and help the team achieve its goals this season.
