It was officially announced yesterday that Barcelona’s captain and first-choice goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, will miss the rest of the season due to a severe knee injury. The club is now actively searching for his replacement, and today a new option has emerged.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, Barcelona is considering Wojciech Szczęsny as a potential replacement. Szczęsny had recently announced his retirement from football.
However, it is reported that Szczęsny is willing to come out of retirement for the chance to play for Barcelona, and the club’s coaching staff is keen on his profile.
One of the reasons Szczęsny retired was that, after leaving Juventus, he did not receive any offers from top clubs. The Polish goalkeeper had expressed a desire to continue playing at the highest level.
Reminder: It was also recently revealed that Barcelona could consider signing former Real Madrid and PSG goalkeeper Keylor Navas, who is currently a free agent.
