Wojciech Szczęsny caused a storm in FC Barcelona. Gigantic confusion
On Monday (i.e. July 7), FC Barcelona officially confirmed that Wojciech Szczęsny extended the contract with the club. But this is not the end of this saga.
Let us remind you that Wojciech Szczęsny went to FC Barcelona during the previous season. After parting with Juventus, a Pole left Turin’s football with the conviction that this is the end of his professional career. Szczęsny managed to play at Euro 2024 in the colors of the Polish national team, and then finally hung shoes on the stake.
FC Barcelona has Wojciech Szczęsny. What will Marc-Andre Ter Stegen do?
Barca managed to convince the Pole to change his decision and return to professional playing. The future Spanish champions suffered a lot of injuries in the form of an injury, which was suffered by Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. The basic goalkeeper, in addition, the team captain, had practically the rest of the season without playing, or in the rehabilitation process.
The Pole decided to sign the contract by the end of the 2024/25 campaign. Ultimately, “Szczena” returned to playing, and Barcelona quickly found out that the Pole’s transfer was one of the most hit movements in the previous season. Szczęsny began to play a significant role properly from the beginning of 2025. At one point he was even the author of several spectacular interventions, in addition to contributing to Barca’s solid results. At the forefront with the victory in the Spanish Super Cup, King Cup and the National Championship.
In the ranks of Barca, it was noticed how valuable the acquisition of a Pole was and although initially arranged to play the season to the end and the return of Szczęsny to the role of a happy pensioner, the situation changed. The second part of the season is also the return of the said Ter Stegen. However, it seems that the German will not take place in the future of the Duma of Catalonia.
Grounds? First of all, due to downloading a new European goal in the summer. This is Joan Garcia, who is 24 years old, who was taken from the local rival of Barca, Espanyol. Secondly, Szczęsny has just extended the contract for two consecutive seasons. Keeping on the payroll of the third class goalkeeper is now no business for Barcelona. One thing is certain, a gigantic confusion arose.
However, Spanish and Catalan media report that Ter Stegen is not going to let go. First of all, the German does not want to leave Barcelona, even in the face of Garcia transfers and a new contract for a Pole.
The former captain wants to talk to Barca’s coach. His compatriot, Hansi Flick, may not have a choice and clearly indicate the transfer direction for an experienced goalkeeper.
In addition, the issue of “ventilation of the cloakroom” is raised in the lobby in the context of, among others Just the character of Ter Stegen. It is also not excluded that Barca and Robert Lewandowski – it is also the prospect of the last season of cooperation. In the case of a Pole, we are talking about an expiring contract. Would “Lewy” really divide the fate of the German goalkeeper after the 2025/26 season? This cannot be ruled out for today, especially considering the record of the former captain of the Polish national team.
