Barcelona growing convinced that renewing in-form star’s contract is the right move | OneFootball

According to a report from AS, Barcelona are increasingly convinced that extending Wojciech Szczesny’s contract could be the right decision, as the Polish goalkeeper continues to deliver outstanding performances.

According to the outlet, the club is beginning to see him as a vital part of their future plans, given his reliability between the posts.

Since arriving at Barcelona, Szczesny has established himself as one of the standout performers of the season. His impact has been undeniable, proving to be a crucial figure in Hansi Flick’s system.

Now, the experienced shot-stopper will step onto the field against Atletico Madrid in exceptional form, following an impressive display against Benfica where he made eight key saves, further solidifying his growing importance to the team.

An unbeaten Szczesny

His statistics this season speak volumes about his influence. Szczesny has kept a clean sheet in eight of the 15 matches he has played for Barcelona so far.

More significantly, the Blaugrana have remained unbeaten in every game he has featured in. His presence in goal has brought stability, and his performances have been a key factor in the club’s recent success.

In La Liga, Szczesny has been nothing short of outstanding. He has won all six league matches he has played, conceding only two goals. One of those came in Barcelona’s dominant 7-1 victory over Valencia, while the other was in their 4-1 triumph against Sevilla.

Barcelona want him to continue

Despite initial concerns in his early appearances, he has since exuded confidence and composure, using his vast experience to provide a sense of security at the back.

Given his consistency and reliability, Barcelona now see Szczesny as a valuable asset. His performances have given both Flick and sporting director Deco a level of assurance that might not be easy to find elsewhere.

With financial fair play restrictions likely to pose challenges again in the summer, securing his future at the club could be a practical and strategic decision.
