Wojciech Szczesny Makes Retirement U-turn, Signs With Barcelona On One-year Deal
Wojciech Szczesny: Spanish giants FC Barcelona have confirmed the signing of veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who is coming out of retirement, on a one-year deal to replace Marc-Andre ter Stegen who is out with a long-term injury.
“It’s a proud moment. I was honestly prepared for retirement. I was happy in that situation but being here these first two days in the city and seeing how people have treated me and how important it is to them has made me feel proud and part of this exciting family," said the goalkeeper to FCB's media team.
The Polish keeper comes to the Club in unusual circumstances but there is no doubt that his CV speaks for itself. During his career, which appeared to have come to an end in the summer, he has played at top clubs such as Arsenal, Roma and Juventus since leaving his hometown of Warsaw at the age of 16.
