When Wojciech Szczęsny ended his career a few weeks ago, ending the transfer saga involving him, it seemed that he would now have a lot of peace and quiet and that there would be little talk about him in the media. However, when Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered a serious kneecap injury in Barcelona's 5-1 clash with Villareal, everything turned upside down.
Szczęsny is getting closer to Barcelona? The Catalans will fight
Panic began, because the Catalans were left with only the inexperienced Inaki Pena in La Liga until the end of the season. There were numerous reports about potential candidates to replace the German. Keylor Navas, young Guillame Restes from Toulouse and Wojciech Szczęsny. Now we can say Wojciech Szczęsny first and foremost, because the reports on this matter are pouring in like wildfire. Tomasz Włodarczyk from Meczyki.pl and Fabrizio Romano informed about Barcelona established contact with Szczęsny's representatives. Catalan daily Sport added that the move had been approved by club coach Hansi Flick.
Robert Lewandowski cannot be overlooked either. He is a close friend of Szczęsny, who would certainly not be sad to have the prospect of playing with him at the same club. However, the popular French-language channel about FC Barcelona “Actualitate Barca” (120,000 subscribers on YouTube and over 800,000 followers on X) informs that the whole thing is connected to Lewandowski in another way.
Pini Zahavi part of talks! Lewandowski's agent will prevail?
According to their reports, the participant in the talks is none other than Pini Zahavi, Robert Lewandowski's agent. He is to act as an intermediary between Barcelona and CAA Stellar, the agency representing Wojciech Szczęsny's interests. Will Zahavi influence the negotiations? It is impossible to predict. Everything depends on the Pole's willingness to postpone his retirement. So far, he has made it quite clear that he no longer needs football and wants to focus on his family. But who knows? As Szczęsny himself wrote, “no one will stop you from dreaming.”
