Szczęsny has become a household name for Barcelona fans, proving his worth with world-class performances. His recent performance against Benfica proved Barcelona have found themselves a goalkeeper who can decide high-pressure UEFA Champions League games for them. With Stegen struggling with personal problems and injuries Barcelona must act fast to secure his renewal.
Why Szczęsny Deserves it?
Stegen has been inconsistent in goal for Barcelona, his performances have significantly dropped and are not very promising. Szczęsny joined Barcelona in January and had to wait to get approval from Flick to start. The Polish has been the starting goalie for Barcelona and is undefeated since him being our maingoalie.
If Barcelona let Szczęsny leave at the end of the season and wait for Stegen’s recovery, it could prove to be a risky move. If Barcelona keep both goalkeepers, we can have a much-needed depth even in goal.
Finding a suitable replacement in the market could be costly considering our financial traumas. Finding a top-tier goalkeeper is extremely difficult, this would require time for negotiations and heavy funds. Instead, we could renew Szczęsny who is experienced and can serve us for another year would be a far better option.
Beyond Szczęsny’s performances, he brings leadership and stability to the team. His vocal presence on the field to organise the defence is far better than any goalie. Given his contributions to the club in a short time and the club’s current situation, renewing him is the best option. Let’s not forget, that Szczęsny is in blistering form despite coming out from retirement.
