Barcelona's sporting director Deco confirmed that goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny will likely stay with the club beyond this season after he stepped in due to Marc-Andre ter Stegen's injury. Initially recruited as backup, Szczesny became the starter, achieving 12 clean sheets in 24 games. With his temporary contract set to expire and Ter Stegen returning to fitness, there were concerns about Szczesny's future. Deco, however, expressed confidence that they will agree on a contract extension, highlighting Szczesny's experience and contributions to the team's potential treble-winning campaign.
"Szczesny is a very experienced goalkeeper. We had the opportunity to bring him in through one of those coincidences in football. He was a player we knew had a lot to contribute."
"He'll surely stay with us next season. The credit goes to the coaches and the players themselves on a day-to-day basis. We're happy with him."
