Barcelona veteran still uncertain about future despite club’s desire to continue | OneFootball

According to a recent report from SPORT, it has come to light that Barcelona are currently uncertain about Wojciech Szczesny’s plans for the future.

The outlet mentions that while the Polish goalkeeper has not yet shared his intentions with the club, he has indicated that discussions regarding his next steps will take place soon.

It must be noted that since January, Szczesny has established himself as Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper, pushing Inaki Pena down the pecking order.

A solid presence for Barcelona

His performances have been solid, and the club’s sporting director, Deco, did not rule out the possibility of him staying for another season.

He acknowledged that Szczesny is an experienced and highly skilled goalkeeper who plays a crucial role in the squad, both on and off the pitch.

His leadership and presence in the dressing room have been valuable, making him a player worth considering for the future.

However, at this point, the club has not had any formal discussions about his long-term stay.

Pena has been affected the most

Meanwhile, Pena had stepped in as the starter following Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s injury and retained his spot until the Spanish Super Cup.

However, with Szczesny taking over the position, he has found himself on the sidelines. Managing his situation will be a key concern for the club moving forward.

For the time being, Barcelona remain optimistic about Ter Stegen’s recovery. The German goalkeeper is making steady progress in his rehabilitation, and some believe he could return before the season ends.

However, the club is being cautious and allowing the medical team to handle his recovery without putting any unnecessary pressure on his return timeline.

For now, Barcelona will take things step by step, carefully evaluating their goalkeeping options as the season progresses. The decision on Szczesny’s future will likely depend on further discussions between the player and the club in the coming months.
