Because yes the continuity of Wojciech Szczesny at FC Barcelona will be in relation to his family situation. The Polish goalkeeper who prioritized football for many years does not want to pass his family afterwards and leaves them their say on this subject: “I owe my wife to decide together, and we haven't done it yet.

We were all determined that I come a year to realize my dreams, then that I come back to play golf.»»
