Hansi Flick offers update on Wojciech Szczesny’s future at Barcelona amid contract extension talk

Wojciech Szczesny had to wait quite a while to replace Iñaki Peña as Barcelona’s number one goalkeeper due to Marc-André ter Stegen’s injury, but the Pole has certainly become the undisputed starter with his performances since being inserted into the lineup at the start of the new year.

Barça are yet to lose with Szczesny in goal, and the shot-stopper has been a key piece in making sure his team stays unbeaten with some very important saves in several games recently.

Szczesny has been so good in fact that there’s already talk about him sticking around for another year, and signing a contract extension to become Ter Stegen’s backup when the German returns from injury next season.
