Wojciech Szczesny's future could be resolved in the coming days. After Barça's victory against Atlético de Madrid, the goalkeeper revealed that he will make a decision soon.
Wojciech Szczesny has been one of the great revelations of FC Barcelona in this second half of the season. The Polish player surpassed Iñaki Peña in the team's goalkeeping position at the beginning of the year and has since established himself as the 'talisman' of the Catalan team, remaining unbeaten in the 16 matches he has played and keeping his goal clean in 8 of those.
The calmness and security that the goalkeeper transmits from the back has made him untouchable for Hansi Flick, who values the hierarchy and quality of a player who came out of retirement to play again after five months of inactivity and has managed to respond to the trust the coach has placed in him.
Last Sunday, after Barça's victory against Atlético de Madrid, 'Tek' highlighted his current situation in the City of Barcelona and the importance of having signed with the club at the age of 34. "I can't complain about my fate. I have to be very grateful for how I have been treated. Playing for Barça is something very exciting because they play very beautiful football, something completely different from what I have experienced so far," he commented.
Szczesny's future at Barça
In his statements to 'Eleven Sports', the Pole emphasized the difference between FC Barcelona and the other clubs he has played for, stating that "at Juventus everything revolves around the result. The result is the most important thing. Here, at Barça, there is a huge joy for the type of football that is played and that is something that is contagious. It is very surprising to see how there are millions of people paying attention to what happens."
However, the most notable moment of the player's appearance came when he spoke about his future. Can Barça is more than happy with his performances, and the sports management, led by Deco, has already revealed their intentions to offer the goalkeeper a renewal, whose current contract expires on June 30.
All parties involved are aware that the final word will be Szczesny's, and although nothing is defined yet, 'Tek' confessed that "probably, soon it will be time to make the decision about my future. Right now, the most important thing is to focus all my physical and mental energy on the upcoming matches. We have to play as well as possible."
"I believe that I am still not at 100%. The best form is yet to come"
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his continuity at the club, various reports suggest that Wojciech would be open to continuing to wear the blue and garnet jersey for at least one more season. Meanwhile, the player has sent a strong message to the fans and his rivals, confessing that "I believe that I am still not at 100%. The best form is yet to come". Words that excite the Barça fans, who hope to continue counting on the super goalkeeper beyond next summer.
