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.

Wojciech Szczesny confirmed his retirement from football at the age of 34, after he decided not to sign a contract extension with Serie A side, Juventus. There are reports that the reason why the Polish goalkeeper is looking at coming out of retirement is to replace Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who suffered an injury in the league game against Barcelona.

There are some unconfirmed reports that Wojciech Szczesny's decision is because of his relationship with Barcelona striker and fellow Polish star Robert Lewandowski, while he is well-known to Flick's staff following his experiences in European football.

Szczesny was last in action at Euro 2024 in the summer when he played two of Poland's three group games at the tournament.

The other goalkeeper on Barcelona's radar is former Real Madrid and Paris Saint-German goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who played for the Galacticos from 2014-2019, before completing his move to the French capital.

The final decision will be down to Barcelona's coach, Hansi Flick, and the clubs sporting director Deco, as they will both decide which goalkeeper they will sign for the rest of the season.

Barcelona's No 1 goalkeeper, Marc Ter Stegen is likely to miss the rest of the season according to recent update following a severe injury suffered in Barcelona’s 5-1 victory against Villarreal over the weekend.

Ter Stegen in his attempt to claim a corner had a bad fall which affected his right knee causing him to be stretched off the pitch in visible pain and he was rushed to a nearby hospital for medical assessment.

When asked about the German keeper following their victory, Barcelona’s head coach, Hans Flick in an interview stated, "It doesn't look good for Marc, we have to wait to know the full diagnosis of the injury, but it's true it does appear to be really serious. This injury makes us sad. I think the injury will be huge, but we have to wait for information."

Barcelona in an official report confirmed that the German had undergone surgery adding that his recovery will determine his return date to the club. Given the nature of his injury (patella tendon injury in his right knee) the recovery time is expected to be around 7-9 months, which effectively rules him out for the remainder of the season.

This is a significant blow for Barcelona, as Ter Stegen has been a key player for them. His absence adds to the club’s growing injury list, and Barcelona will likely have to rely on backup goalkeeper Iñaki Peña for the rest of the season or delve into the transfer market in January 2025 to search for another option.
