Shot-stopper Szczęsny is currently in the midst of his 2nd term in Barcelona colours, after coming out of retirement to aid the Blaugrana amid a crisis between the posts back in 2024.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, in fact:
‘Despite receiving a two-year offer from one of the top La Liga teams to be their first-choice goalkeeper, the Polish goalkeeper rejected it because he prioritises staying at Barça, even knowing that he will continue to have a secondary role.’
