Barcelona has secured the services of Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny on a free transfer.
The experienced shot-stopper has completed his medical examinations and signed a contract with the Catalan club until June 2025.
Szczesny’s arrival at Barcelona comes after his contract with Juventus expired at the end of the previous season. The 34-year-old goalkeeper has agreed to a significant pay cut compared to his previous earnings at the Italian club.
The Polish international is expected to provide competition for Marc-André ter Stegen in goal for Barcelona. His experience and shot-stopping abilities will be valuable assets to the team as they compete in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League.
Szczesny’s signing was confirmed by renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The Italian journalist reported that the deal was finalized and the goalkeeper would be present at the Camp Nou for Barcelona’s Champions League match against Young Boys on Tuesday night.
Barcelona’s acquisition of Szczesny on a free transfer represents a shrewd piece of business for the club. The goalkeeper’s arrival strengthens their goalkeeping department and adds depth to their squad as they aim to challenge for major trophies in the coming season.
