Szczęsny is part of Barcelona's official delegation for the match against Young Boys
After Marc-André ter Stegen's injury, Barcelona found themselves in a difficult situation, urgently needing a new goalkeeper. The club decided to bring in football 36-year-old Wojciech Szczęsny back from retirement, as he had announced his career's end this summer.
The official signing of the Polish goalkeeper is getting closer. Szczęsny was already spotted as part of Barcelona's delegation for the second round of the Champions League match against Swiss side Young Boys.
Insider Fabrizio Romano shared a photo showing Szczęsny's reserved seat in the stands, captioning it: "Everything is set for Wojciech Szczęsny's first appearance as a new Barça player. The deal will be announced within 24 hours."
Currently, Iñaki Peña is guarding the goal for Barcelona, but in the recent La Liga match against Osasuna, his team conceded four goals.
