Barcelona has quickly moved to secure a new goalkeeper following Marc-André ter Stegen’s knee injury sustained in last weekend’s match against Villarreal, which will keep him out for the remainder of the season. The club has turned its attention to Wojciech Szczęsny, and significant progress has been made in negotiations over the past few days.
Reports indicate that the Polish goalkeeper is scheduled for a medical examination on Monday, after which he is expected to sign a contract that would run until the end of the season. However, according to sources at Relevo, the transfer process has hit a snag.
The delay stems from technical issues with La Liga, which are currently hindering the finalization of the deal with Szczęsny. This has raised concerns for Barcelona, as they currently have only Iñaki Peña available to guard the goal in the upcoming matches. Moreover, if the situation is not resolved swiftly, Szczęsny might miss the important Champions League match against Young Boys next week.
Adding to the complexity is Barcelona’s challenging financial position, which prevents them from completing the transfer without prior approval from La Liga. As such, it remains uncertain whether the necessary approvals will be granted in time, leaving the future of the former Juventus goalkeeper’s transfer in limbo.
