Goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny has renewed his contract with Barcelona until 2027.The Polish keeper, 35, had retired from football in August 2024, but signed for Barca two months later after first choice Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered a season-ending injury.

Barça signed Szczęsny out of retirement as a free agent in the aftermath of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's knee injury a month into the 2024–25 season. After spending all of the first half of the season serving as Iñaki Peña's backup, Szczęsny took over the starting duties when the calendar turned to 2025 and never looked back.

Barcelona's decision to extend Wojciech Szczesny's contract could spell the end of Marc-Andre ter Stegen's time with the club.
