Barcelona’s Deal for Wojciech Szczesny in Limbo – Goalkeeper’s Demands a Concern
Barcelona Pursuing Wojciech Szczesny as Ter Stegen Replacement
Recent reports suggest that Barcelona is on the verge of signing Wojciech Szczesny to fill in for the injured Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. Ter Stegen sustained a serious knee injury in the recent game against Villarreal, ruling him out for the rest of the season. While it is widely believed that a deal is nearly finalized, there are still uncertainties surrounding the potential transfer.
Uncertainty Surrounding Szczesny’s Transfer to Barcelona
Despite rumors of a scheduled medical examination for Szczesny, there is still a possibility that the deal might not go through. The former Arsenal and Juventus goalkeeper is reportedly insisting on being a starter at Barcelona, replacing current number one Inaki Pena. However, Barcelona’s coaching staff, led by Hansi Flick, have expressed confidence in Pena’s ability to maintain his position as the primary goalkeeper.
If Barcelona decides to stick with Pena, Szczesny’s arrival could face complications. In such a scenario, Barcelona would delay the search for Ter Stegen’s replacement until January, ruling out the option of signing any other free agents in the interim.
It remains to be seen whether Szczesny will indeed make the move to Barcelona and how the situation will unfold in the coming days.
