Wojciech Szczesny is currently at a pivotal point in his career as he considers a move to Barcelona. 

In that regard, recent reports from SPORT indicate that he may need to pay €2 million to Juventus if he decides to sign with the Blaugrana. 

This situation arises as discussions between Szczesny and Barcelona are progressing swiftly, with the Catalan club expressing a keen interest in securing the player’s services.

Barcelona have presented an attractive offer to Szczesny, proposing a one-year contract worth approximately €3 million gross, along with additional bonuses. 

The deal is far from closed

At this moment, it is essential to note that Szczesny has not yet given his full approval to this deal.

His decision hinges on negotiations with Juventus, where he faces a contractual obligation that requires him to return a portion of his severance payment if he returns to the field.

It is reported by various Italian media outlets that he received around €6 million as a severance payment due to the mutual decision to part ways; Szczesny sought to retire, while Juventus aimed to explore a different direction for their goalkeeping position. 

This arrangement included a stipulation that Szczesny would have to reimburse about €2 million of that payment if he chose to return to playing.

There is an offer on the table

Now, recent insights from Polish media have confirmed that Szczesny has received Barcelona’s offer. 

In fact, it is said that there is a positive atmosphere between Juventus and the goalkeeper regarding the potential move. However, the keeper has yet to fully commit to returning to professional football.

Despite the existing hurdles, though, there is a sense of optimism that an agreement could be reached swiftly. With both clubs and the player open to discussions, it is possible that a final decision may be made within the next few hours, potentially even today. 

As this situation unfolds, fans of both clubs are keenly awaiting updates on this exciting transfer saga.
