FC Barcelona is already looking for Wojciech Szczęsny's replacement 412d31

At FC Barcelona, they do not want to wait until the last minute. Although it is not official yet, everything indicates that Wojciech Szczęsny could bid farewell to football at the end of this season. After helping the team win LaLiga EA Sports and the Copa del Rey, his future is uncertain. The Polish goalkeeper is unsure whether he will continue or hang up his gloves, and he has made it clear that the final decision will be made together with his wife.

Ter Stegen is already recovered and ready to return to the starting lineup. With this scenario, the club knows that it is most likely that Szczęsny will decide to end his career. Therefore, the sports management is already working and has a name in mind: Leo Román.

The goalkeeper of RCD Mallorca has left very good impressions this season. At 24 years old, he has shown security in goal and a style of play that fits what Barça is looking for. He has a contract until 2026 and a €12 million buyout clause, although the club believes they could sign him for around €7 million.

Barça's plan with Leo Román would be to sign him this summer, but not for him to go directly to the first team. The idea is to loan him to another La Liga club so he can continue to develop, while Iñaki Peña would stay as the second goalkeeper behind Ter Stegen.

All of this, of course, will only happen if Szczęsny confirms his retirement. If he decides to continue for another year, Barça could put this operation on hold. But the club does not want to be caught off guard, so they are already working to cover a key position. The future of the Barça goal is starting to take shape.
