After Neves, another famous goalkeeper offers himself to Barça

While the season is already in full swing, FC Barcelona has just received a welcome reinforcement.

A new face arrives in Barcelona as a joker. Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny is in the Spanish capital this Monday to undergo his medical examination.

The Polish goalkeeper has agreed to come out of retirement and sign for Barca to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who suffered a knee injury. The former Juventus number one will sign a contract until June and will be Inaki Pena’s competitor.

Barça will have to wait for their new reinforcement

It should be operational by October 20 for the LaLiga match against Celta Vigo. However, he is too short to participate in the duel against Young Boys on Tuesday evening in the Champions League (2e daytime).

Note also that part of his severance package must be paid, as he received 6 million euros from Juve, with a clause that he would have to return 2 million euros if he played again for another club. Which is about to be verified.
