(ANSA) – ROME, SEPTEMBER 25 – “It would be disrespectful if I didn’t consider this opportunity”. Reached by Diario Sport in Marbella where he is on holiday, Wojciech Szczesny responded to the rumours that he is very close to replacing the injured Ter Stegen between the posts of Barcelona. According to the newspaper, the Polish goalkeeper – who only a month ago announced his retirement – has already said ‘yes’ to the Catalan club. “I respect the history of Barça a lot, it is one of the best clubs in the world – said the 34-year-old former Juventus player – I understand the difficult situation that has arisen after Ter Stegen’s injury and I think it would be disrespectful of me not to consider this option”.
Everything therefore suggests that in the next few days the goalkeeper will join Hansi Flick’s team. According to Polish journalist Tomasz Wlodarczyk, quoted by Sport, Szczesny will be a Barcelona player by tomorrow, after passing the medical tests that will give the green light to the operation.
