Barcelona Eye Wojciech Szczesny As Replacement For Injured Ter Stegen.
Barcelona have reportedly approached the agents of former Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to discuss a potential move following Marc-André ter Stegen’s long-term injury. According to reports from Wlodar85, the Polish shot-stopper, who announced his retirement earlier this summer, is being considered as a possible emergency replacement.
Ter Stegen sustained a serious injury during Barcelona’s clash against Villarreal, ruling him out for an estimated eight months. With a gaping hole in the club’s goalkeeping department, Barcelona are actively seeking an experienced option to fill the void.
Szczesny, who retired from professional football after leaving Juventus, is among the names being explored. While it remains uncertain if the 33-year-old would come out of retirement, Barcelona are keen to understand his current situation and potential interest in a return to the pitch.
In addition to Szczesny, the Catalan giants are also considering other options, with former Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas reportedly on their shortlist. The Costa Rican veteran, known for his Champions League-winning experience, could also provide a valuable stop-gap solution for Barcelona as they aim to compete at the highest level despite Ter Stegen’s absence.
The coming weeks will reveal whether Szczesny could be tempted back into action or if Barcelona will opt for an alternative candidate as they seek to secure a reliable presence between the posts.
