Barcelona will part ways with 34-year-old veteran at the end of the season

In a surprising development, journalist Alex Pintanel has revealed that Barcelona do not plan to keep Wojciech Szczesny beyond his current contract, which ends in 2025. 

The situation surrounding the goalkeeping position at Barcelona has become one of the most discussed topics within the club. 

Szczesny was brought in as a temporary replacement for the injured Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but so far, he has not played a match for the team. 

As things stand, it seems unlikely that he will leave a significant mark during his time at Barcelona given Inaki Pena’s growing influence.

Deco is working on the background

Looking ahead, Sporting Director Deco is carefully evaluating the goalkeeping situation. There are multiple strategies being considered, one of which involves placing trust in players from La Masia, the club’s youth academy. 

However, the management team is also open to the possibility of bringing in a new goalkeeper to strengthen the squad.

In this context, it appears that Szczesny will not be part of Barcelona’s future plans. His contract is set to expire at the end of the current season, and with uncertainty surrounding Ter Stegen’s recovery from injury, Deco is determined to secure a reliable goalkeeper for the team. 

The top choice for this position seems to be Diogo Costa, who has been impressive in his performances.

Overall, there are many developments taking place within the team as they address the goalkeeping situation. 

It appears that Barcelona is starting to look towards a future without both Ter Stegen and Szczesny, viewing the latter primarily as a short-term solution for this season. 

The management’s proactive approach suggests a desire to build a more stable foundation for the team’s goalkeeping department moving forward. 

With these changes on the horizon, fans can expect Barcelona to make strategic moves to ensure they have a strong and capable goalkeeper for the seasons to come.
