Wojciech Szczesny returns from retirement, set to sign for Barcelona as a free agent

Veteran Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has surprisingly returned from retirement and is set to sign a deal with Spanish La Liga side Barcelona as a free agent.

This was disclosed in a post shared on the X handle of transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano who revealed that Szczesny will come out of retirement to sign for Barcelona as a replacement for Ter Stergen who has been ruled out for a long time with injury.

Romano also disclosed that Szczesny is all set for a medical test in Spain in the coming days.

‘‘Wojciech Szczesny to Barcelona, here we go! Deal in place for Polish goalkeeper to join as free agent.

‘‘Szczesny will come out of retirement to sign for Barça and replace ter Stegen on a one-year contract.

‘’Medical tests will take place in Spain in the next days.’’ Romano wrote on his X handle.

The goalkeeper also earlier confirmed that he is in talks to sign for Barcelona as it would be disrespectful for him not to consider such an option in his football career.

“Yes, I’m now in talks and considering a Barça move. It’d be disrespectful if I didn’t consider this option for my career”.

“Barça is one of the best clubs in the world”, Szczesny tells @Sport
