Barcelona look well on their way to recruiting a new goalkeeper to compensate for the absence of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, for what is likely to be the rest of the season. The Polish goalkeeper retired last month, but looks to be keen on a return to the game.
Szczesny, 34, left Juventus this summer after rescinding his deal, and announced his retirement at the end of August. However Barcelona are working on the fly to replace ter Stegen after his knee surgery, and contacted Szczesny to see if he would be interested in coming back.
The Polish goalkeeper was presented with an offer on Tuesday, explain Relevo, and he has accepted that offer, giving the green light for a move. However Barcelona must now negotiate with his former club Juventus in order to get a deal done.
The Bianconeri included a penalty in his contract rescision if he were to join another side during a set period of time, and it appears Barcelona will be handling that cost. The same outlet explains that the Blaugrana are in talks with Juventus to see if they can reach an agreement on a fee.
