Barcelona provide update on Wojciech Szczęsny plans for next season | OneFootball

Barcelona sporting director Deco has confirmed that Wojciech Szczęsny could yet stay put with the club for next season.

Goalkeeper Szczęsny has of course spent recent weeks establishing himself as the new first-choice option between the posts in Hansi Flick’s Barcelona squad.

After initially being brought in to act as cover for Iñaki Peña following the long-term injury suffered by Marc-André ter Stegen, the Pole has more than proven himself to the Blaugrana coaching staff.

So much so that Szczęsny could yet see his stay in Catalunya’s capital extended beyond the summer.

Upon linking up with Barcelona back in October, the former Arsenal and Juventus shot-stopper penned terms through the conclusion of the campaign.

Speaking to Diario Sport this week, in quotes relaid by Fabrizio Romano, however, Barca director Deco hinted that Szczęsny’s spell with the club could stretch into next season:

“If he is happy, he is a player to keep in mind because he can give us a lot next year. I don’t know his plans yet. We haven’t spoken, but we will surely speak soon.”
