Barcelona to Extend Wojciech Szczesny's Contract for Two Years

Wojciech Szczęsny, the veteran goalkeeper, is poised to sign a new two-year contract with Barcelona following his instrumental role in the club's domestic treble victory last season, as confirmed by a source to ESPN.

Szczęsny's Contribution and Decision

Szczęsny, aged 35, announced in May that Barcelona had offered him a contract extension, expressing the need for time to deliberate on the offer. Despite the recent signing of Joan García and the presence of Marc-André ter Stegen, Szczęsny will prolong his tenure at the club.

Competition for Goalkeeper Position

Iñaki Peña, the former deputy to Ter Stegen, is reportedly open to a transfer. Szczęsny, who initially joined Barça on a short-term basis, will now vie with García and Ter Stegen for the starting goalkeeper role.

After making 30 appearances under Hansi Flick, Szczęsny, known for his humor and candid nature, has garnered popularity among fans. Despite his occasional humor about smoking, he has advised against emulating his habit.

Professional Journey of Wojciech Szczęsny

Szczęsny commenced his professional career at Arsenal and later played for Juventus before his brief retirement in 2024. Following a call from Barcelona, he returned to the field last October, contributing significantly to the club's recent successes.
