Barcelona have confirmed that Wojciech Szczesny has signed for the club for the rest of the 2024/25 season following Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury.
Barcelona confirmed the arrival of Wojciech Szczesny on its official website on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. According to the club, Wojciech Szczęsny will remain at the Catalonia giants until the end of this season.
The statement read as follows,
“FC Barcelona and Wojciech Szczęsny have reached an agreement for the goalkeeper to join the Club until 30 June 2025”
Recall that the Polish international had announced his retirement in the summer but has been tempted to play again by a unique challenge at Barcelona after Ter Stegen’s devastating injury. Szczesny confirmed in his first interview that his countryman, Robert Lewandowski, was the first to reach out to him when there was an opening at the club.
“He was the first person who called me to look into the possibility of this happening because I was retired.At first I wasn’t ready for new challenges but I spoke to my family and friends and they all told me it would be a mistake not to accept this. That’s why Robert played a very important role because he was the person who had the idea to convince me.”
Szczesny will hope that he can add more trophies to his cabinet at the end of this season with Barcelona.
