Wojciech Szczesny’s future at FC Barcelona is closely linked to the recovery of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, as revealed by a recent update by Gabriel Sans in Mundo Deportivo.
While four key Barcelona players have contracts expiring in 2025, only Szczesny’s position remains uncertain.
The other three (Íñigo Martínez, Robert Lewandowski and Gerard Martín) are expected to stay, and their future seems secure.
Although none of these players have yet renewed their contract, the club’s sports management is confident of managing all four situations.
Two of the contracts come with automatic extension clauses based on appearances, while the other two require direct negotiations with their representatives.
Szczesny’s situation is complicated
Szczesny, at 34, came to Barcelona as a temporary solution after Ter Stegen suffered a serious injury. The Polish goalkeeper’s continuity at the club will depend on the German’s recovery process.
It is said that if Ter Stegen is not ready to return until the start of next season, there is a possibility that Barcelona could extend Szczesny’s contract, even if it is for a short period.
However, it is important to note that Szczesny is yet to make his official debut for the club. Szczesny’s first chance to play could come on January 4, when Barcelona faces UD Barbastro in the round of 32 of the Copa del Rey.
If all goes to plan, this will be his debut match for the club as Barcelona begin their 2025 campaign.
Despite not having played since signing, Szczesny’s attitude in the locker room has been praised for his professionalism and positive demeanor, according to team sources.
As Barcelona continue to manage their squad and the future of their goalkeepers, Szczesny’s role will become clearer based on the progress of Ter Stegen’s recovery.
For now, his potential debut in the next Copa del Rey match remains a key moment to watch.
