Playing for the Barcelona less than a month after his retirement…it’s possible. It’s the flash market negotiation born for Wojciech Szczesny shortly after the injury of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, goalkeeper Blaugrana who suffered a complete rupture of the patellar tendon in his right knee. The Catalan club is desperately looking for a replacement for the German, who will be out for at least eight months, and among the profiles being considered, the name of the former Juventus player who recently stopped playing stands out.
The latest on the negotiations
Yet, when an illustrious club like Barcelona knocks on the door, it is difficult to cover one’s ears and ignore the advances. And that is exactly what happened to Szczesny who, according to the latest updates from the portal Meczyki.plhas apparently reached an agreement with Barça. Negotiations have been ongoing for several days and the deal is said to be very close to being concluded. If nothing unexpected happens, the former Juve player will become the new goalkeeper of Barcelona.
Next Thursday – it is written – the medical visits are scheduled which, as usual, precede the moment of autographs on the contract that will bind him to the Blaugrana. Contract that should include a one-year stay in Barcelona for Szczesny. For an injury as serious as Ter Stegen’s, Barcelona will make an emergency transfer and, according to the current rules, will have 80% of the German’s salary at their disposal.
Szczesny’s statement
If what was said above was not enough, in the last few hours the statements released by the Polish man himself to the notebooks of SPORT: “I have a lot of respect for the history of Barça, which is one of the best clubs in the world. I understand the difficult situation that has arisen for them after Marc-André Ter Stegen’s injury and I think it would be disrespectful of me not to consider this option.”
