Retirement reversal is a godsend? Barca, Szczesny's on hold until 2027



[London (UK) = Egan Sports Chosun.COM reporter] Barcelona goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny (34) will remain at Camp Nou by extending his contract until 2027.

Spain's champions Barcelona announced on Thursday that they had agreed to extend their contract with Szczesny until at least 2027. Szczesny was an emergency recruit to fill Marc-Andre ter Stegen's injury gap last season and made a surprise return by reversing his retirement and signing a short-term contract.

The choice was a stroke of God. Szczesny played in a total of 30 games in the 2024-2025 season and recorded a clean sheet in as many as 14 games, keeping Barca's goal firmly. His performance was crucial to Barcelona's achievement of 'domestic treble', winning the league, cup and super cup.




After being recognized as a world-class goalkeeper through Arsenal and Juventus, he announced his retirement once, but returned to the ground at Barca's request to create another career heyday.

The contract extension will keep Shuchesney at least through 2027. Apart from the timing of Ter Stegen's return, his presence is expected to have a significant impact on the Barca goalkeeper's rivalry.
