Wojciech Szczęsny has officially come out of retirement and signed with Barcelona amid the club's injury crisis.
The two parties reached a one year agreement to keep Szczęsny at the club until June 30, 2025. "The Polish keeper comes to the Club in unusual circumstances but there is no doubt that his CV speaks for itself," Barcelona said in a statement. "During his career, which appeared to have come to an end in the summer, he has played at top clubs such as Arsenal, Roma and Juventus since leaving his home town of Warsaw at the age of 16."
The 34-year-old indeed retired after this summer's Euro 2024, but Szczęsny was first linked with a move to Barcelona on Sept. 24. Just eight days later, here's why the keeper is now a member of Hansi Flick's squad.
