He has received an offer from Barcelona, and he has his own wishes in it. However, he is still holding out on the expensive offer from one of the world’s most famous clubs because his home team is not giving him the green light.
Barcelona goalkeeper Vojislav Szczesny has found himself in a rare situation. He came out of retirement to join Barca this season. He has won the domestic treble. Barcelona want to keep the 35-year-old goalkeeper. Szczesny himself is also in agreement. But the final decision will be made by his wife Marina Lushenko Szczesny.
Szczesny made this revelation after the match against Real Madrid. “My wife makes most of the decisions in my house, and I’m not ashamed of that at all. I make most of the football-related decisions, but this situation is different. We planned to come here for a year and try to fulfill our dreams, then go back to playing golf,” he told the Catalan media.
Szczesny is looking to his wife Marina for everything, especially his children’s education and his desire to stay. The same is true for Barcelona management and fans. The Blaugrana are trying to shape their plans in the transfer market based on whether Szczesny will stay next season or not.
Szczesny came out of retirement to join Barcelona last October after regular goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen suffered an ACL injury. Although he was initially replaced by Inaki Penar, he became the team’s main goalkeeper from January. The contract was until the end of this season.
But Szczesny won the hearts of the Barcelona board and fans with his excellent performance. The club has now offered him a two-year contract. However, Szczesny has asked for time to make a decision after discussing it with his family. Barcelona has also made that request.
Meanwhile, Barcelona have already started talks to bring Juan Garcia from Espanyol to the team. It is believed that if Szczesny is not available, Barcelona will bring him in for the future. And if Szczesny agrees, he can be bought and played on loan for at least a year. However, these decisions are currently waiting for Szczesny’s wife Marina.
