La Liga
FC Barcelona has already made the decision on who will replace Marc-André ter Stegen during his absence due to injury. The chosen one is Wojciech Szczesny, the experienced Polish goalkeeper who, after a period off the field, is getting closer to signing with the blaugrana club. Interest in Szczesny arose after Barcelona evaluated various options of free goalkeepers in the market, ultimately opting for the former Juventus player.
Negotiations between the club and the player are progressing well. As reported by 'Sport,' Barcelona has offered him a short-term contract that would cover until the end of the current season, with an approximate salary of three million euros gross, in addition to incentives. Although there are still some aspects to resolve, such as the details of Szczesny's disengagement from Juventus, the goalkeeper is very interested in the opportunity to wear the blaugrana shirt. Furthermore, the presence of Robert Lewandowski, his countryman, and life in Barcelona represent an added attraction for the player.
There are details that need to be taken into account
One of the points to discuss is the previous agreement that Szczesny reached with Juventus when he terminated his contract. The Polish player will have to negotiate so that his return to football does not involve significant economic losses for him, but both the player and the Catalan club are confident in reaching an understanding soon.
Regarding his role in the team, Hansi Flick has made it clear that he will have to compete for the starting position with Iñaki Peña. Although he will need a few weeks to get in shape, it would not be surprising if Szczesny ends the season as the starting goalkeeper, given his vast experience and undeniable quality. If all goes well, this union could extend beyond June.
