The Polish goalkeeper officially continued his career for one season for the Catalan team.
Wojciech Szczęsny continued his career and returned to the field. The former Polish national team goalkeeper has officially become a Barcelona player.
The Catalan team’s contract with the 34-year-old goalkeeper is signed until the end of the current season.
We remind you that the “blue garnets” urgently need to sign a goalkeeper, because the team’s main goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen was previously injured. There is information that Szczesny has agreed to the role of understudy to Iñaki Pena, but intends to fight for a starting place.

The Pole’s last club was Juventus Turin. He has also previously played for Arsenal, Brentford and Roma.
During his career, Szczesny played more than 500 matches, 75 of which were in the Champions League. He played 84 matches for the Polish national team, taking part in two World Championships and four European Championships.
Barcelona’s next match takes place next Sunday. The Catalans will play away against Alaves.
We remind you that Wojciech Szczesny decided to retire from his career at the end of August this year, but decided to continue it for the sake of Barcelona.
