For the past two weeks, Wojciech Szczęsny has no longer been a Juventus player. The Italian club and the Polish goalkeeper agreed to terminate the contract by mutual consent, leaving Szczęsny unemployed ever since. During this time, there have been many reports and rumors about where Szczęsny might play in the new season. FC Barcelona? Real Madrid?
The topic of "Los Blancos" was somewhat clarified by Carlo Ancelotti, who, during a post-match press conference after the game against Real Valladolid (3-0), stated that Andriy Lunin would remain at the club for another season. This effectively rules out Szczęsny's move to Madrid, as Thibaut Courtois remains the undisputed number one.
Wojciech Szczęsny knows where he will play next season, but nothing is official yet.
So, what will Wojciech Szczęsny's future hold? It seems unlikely to be tied to Italy's Serie A, as he has rejected the advances of Monza, who were strongly pursuing him. Szczęsny shared more about his future in a conversation with Mateusz Święcicki on Eleven Sports.
"I'm 80 percent sure of what's going to happen, but I don't like to speak too early. Will it be a bombshell? No, no," Szczęsny said. He did not disclose when to expect an official confirmation of the transfer. He only added that if he signs a one-year contract, he will no longer play for the Polish national team.
"Szczęsny is no longer concerned about a big salary. If he's going to move somewhere, it will only be to a big club. In that case, he might agree to be the number two goalkeeper. If not, then he will consider ending his career. This is something he's considering," Tomasz Włodarczyk reported a few days ago.
