FC Barcelona has signed Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny as an emergency replacement for the injured Marc-André ter Stegen, with a contract running until June 2025. Szczęsny, 34, previously announced his retirement after terminating his contract with Juventus, where he made over 250 appearances. His career highlights include stints at Arsenal and AS Roma, along with winning multiple titles in Serie A with Juventus. The goalkeeper underwent medical checks in Barcelona and is expected to be officially unveiled soon, with his debut likely following the international break. Szczęsny will wear the number 25 jersey, the only available number for goalkeepers in accordance with La Liga regulations. He faces competition for the starting position from Iñaki Peña, as he aims to regain his form after a brief hiatus from professional football.
