Szczesny, closer to staying at Barça: the club's plan for his renewal

The renewal of Wojciech Szczesny has become one of the major priorities of FC Barcelona. The Polish player has transitioned from being an emergency solution after the serious injury of Ter Stegen to an important piece of the team in the second half of the season. For this reason, the Blaugrana entity has already communicated its desire to continue counting on him after the season ends and the '25' is starting to see it very positively despite his initial intention to return to retirement once his commitment expires next July.

In this sense, the newspaper 'SPORT' has reported that the sports management has already outlined its plan to ensure 'Tek's' stay in Hansi Flick's squad. The idea of Deco and his staff is to agree on just one more year of contract so that both the club and the player feel comfortable and can extend their relationship season after season if both parties agree.

What is clear is that neither Barça nor Szczesny are in a hurry to make a definitive decision, although the Polish player hinted that it would come soon. The 'surpass' he has achieved in goal has generated very good feelings in the goalkeeper, who feels very comfortable in the team and in the City of Barcelona and is open to signing his continuity while assuming his role as the second choice behind Ter Stegen, who would return to the starting position once he recovers from his knee injury.

Szczesny's decision would mark the future of the goalkeeping position

The financial aspect will not influence 'Tek's' stay at Spotify Camp Nou, but much will depend on his personal and sporting feelings. At 34 years old, the player is experiencing a second youth under Hansi Flick and the team's good performance excites him with the possibility of closing his professional career with new titles in his trophy cabinet.

Moreover, his figure is very beloved and respected in the locker room. In fact, his relationship with Robert Lewandowski could be another factor that sways his renewal. The forward recently confirmed his stay at the club for the next season, and the idea of sharing one last 'dance' together at the elite of the sport is very attractive for Wojciech.

On the other hand, Szczesny's continuity would close the door to signing a goalkeeper for the 25/26 season and would open the exit door for Iñaki Peña in the summer. The Alicante native is attracting interest from several top division clubs and abroad, while the Catalans would freeze their interest in young prospects like Lucas Chevalier or Joan García. The priority is to secure 'Tek' for one more year, so the future of the Blaugrana goal will be marked by the Polish player's final word.
