July 6th According to the Daily Sports Daily, Szczesni will sign a contract renewal with Barcelona next week. Although he had agreed with the club on contract details during the holidays, the specific time of signing was delayed due to the players' schedule. However, in any case, the parties have agreed on a one-year fixed contract and another one-year optional renewal contract.

In the early stage of the 2024-25 season, Szczesni performed poorly because of their poor physical condition. However, during the Spanish Super Cup, head coach Flick gave Szczesni full trust, making him the team's main goalkeeper. Over the whole season, Szczesny played in a total of 30 games and was given the opportunity to renew his contract.

Although he had seriously considered retirement, he finally decided to accept the club's invitation and continue to play in Barcelona. As planned, Szczesny will get a chance to play in the new season's Cup, but it will also depend on his performance in pre-season training. At present, the club is also facing the situation of dealing with the complex situation of Ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper has made it clear that he has no intention of leaving the team. Even after signing new player Joan Garcia, Ter Stegen believes that he has the ability to compete for the starting position.

In early October last year, Barcelona signed Szczesny after the injury in Ter Stegen, when the player was retired. Now, Szczesny has agreed to a contract renewal proposal made by sports director Deko, and is expected to complete the contract renewal procedures with the club in the next few days and will begin participating in pre-season training guided by Frick on July 13.

From the club's perspective, everything has been arranged and there are no obstacles to stop him from staying in the team. To emphasize, in early October last year, Szczesni had announced his retirement before receiving a call from Barcelona, ​​but in order to fill the vacancy left by Ter Stegen's absence, he decided to return to the field.

Although it took some time to recover from physical and competitive state, after the Spanish Super Cup, Frick gave Szczesni confidence to keep his position as the team's main goalkeeper before the end of the season.
