On Saturday, Wojciech Szczęsny played an eleventh match in the colors of FC Barcelona. His team defeated Las Palmas at 2-0, and the Pole recorded the sixth clean account. Although he never got up from the bench last year, he has been the first choice of Hansi Flick from the beginning of January. And everything indicates that this state of affairs will not change, at least until the end of the season.
He can become the successor of Szczęsny and Ter Stegen. The Spaniards pass
Recall, the former goalkeeper of our team was brought to Catalonia from a pension. Barcelona immediately needed a new goalkeeper after a serious injury of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. The club's authorities did not fully trust the Inacha Peni, who was “hidden in the closet” again. That is why we are now watching Szczęsny between the Spanish runners -up posts.
Recently, journalists of the cadenaser.com portal wrote explicitly that “wearing a Blaugrans shirt by Szczęsny is a fleeting dream.” In this way, they suggested that the presence of our player in the Flicka team is temporary, and Barcelona should slowly look for the new goalkeeper. It is true that Ter Stegen will soon recover, and the German, apart from Szczęsny, and Peni could use even 20-year-old Ander Astralaga or Diego Kochen, but the problem is that they do not guarantee adequate quality. Not to mention the plans of the 25-year-old about leaving the team.
Therefore, Joan Laporta must think in the future. As Sique Rodríguez reported in the “El Bar” program, the name of Joan Garcia was on Barcelona's wish list. It is a 23-year-old Espanyol goalkeeper, whose contract is valid until June 30, 2028, and the market value oscillates around ten million euros. “He is a goalkeeper who really likes the sports department of the Catalan club” – wrote at cadenaser.com.

The problem in downloading Garcia may be … Szczęsny. “His level may prevent Garcia from arriving,” we read. It is possible that Barcelona will extend the agreement of Wojciech Szczęsny, which makes the Pole together with a healthy teregen in the next season can secure the goal. Then there would be a place for Espanyol player, who certainly would not like to be the third option for Hansi Flick. The more that Arsenal is also interested in him. The English last summer tried to download him to London.
In the ongoing season, Joan Garcia has played 25 matches in which he kept four clean accounts. He presented himself particularly well in the 1-0 win against Real Madrid.
