FC Barcelona is continuing to shape its squad for the upcoming season, and one of the positions that could undergo significant changes is the goalkeeping department. The long-term injury to Marc-André ter Stegen, coupled with uncertainty about his medium-term physical condition, forced the sports management to sign Wojciech Szczęsny in January, who has performed admirably in goal for the Blaugrana. Now, the renewal of the Polish keeper is uncertain, prompting the Catalan side to set its sights on Emiliano ‘Dibu’ Martínez.

The Argentine goalkeeper, currently at Aston Villa, is seriously considering a change of scenery this summer. At 32 years old, Martínez believes the time has come to move to a bigger club and has expressed on multiple occasions his desire to play in LaLiga. This willingness has caught the attention of Barça, which highly values both his experience and competitive spirit.

Szczęsny Won't Be Waited for Forever

Currently, Barcelona also has Wojciech Szczęsny's renewal on the table, with an offer of two more years presented to him. However, the Polish goalkeeper has yet to respond to the proposal, leading the Camp Nou offices to explore other options with greater potential and reliability.

However, Barcelona won't be alone in the bidding process. Manchester United, struggling to find stability in goal with André Onana, is also closely monitoring 'Dibu.' The competition to secure his services is expected to be intense, but the Argentine's desire to play in Spain could tilt the balance in favor of the Catalan side.
