Wojciech Szczęsny Commits to Barcelona with New Deal Until 2027

Barcelona have officially announced that Wojciech Szczęsny will stay at the club. He has signed a new contract until June 2027.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Szczęsny signed a two-year deal with Barcelona after giving impressive performances since joining the team. The Polish veteran initially joined as a free agent after Marc-André Ter Stegen got injured early in the 2024–25 season. Szczęsny started the campaign as a backup but soon became the starter after the New Year. He helped Barcelona achieve a domestic treble. He kept 14 clean sheets in 30 appearances, leading the team on a 22-game unbeaten run and playing a key role as Barcelona clinched the La Liga title with two matches to spare.

According to a previous report, Barcelona finished last season in La Liga as champions.

BIGGER IMPACT FOR BARCELONA

This contract extension proves the faith Barcelona have in Szczęsny, who came out of retirement after Euro 2024 to answer the club’s call. He stabilized the team with his experience during an unstable season.

Barcelona’s success under his leadership ended a three-year wait for a league trophy, while the arrival of Joan García hints at high competition in the goalkeeping department next season.

Barcelona have thought about moving Ter Stegen to clear their wage bill.

According to a previous report, this situation may raise questions over the future of long-time club captain Ter Stegen.

WHAT NEXT FOR SZCZĘSNY AND BARÇA?

With Szczęsny’s future secure, Barcelona are ready to build on last season’s success. As La Liga champions, they will be facing Mallorca in their first fixture of the 2025-26 campaign, aiming to stay ahead of title rivals Real Madrid, who were three points behind them last season on points table.
