Wojciech Szczesny lands in Barcelona following Marc-Andre ter Stegen injury

The former Juventus star landed at El Prat Airport around 10h30 AM on Monday morning, having flown in on a private jet from Malaga.

After announcing his retirement last season, Szczesny had settled in Andalusia, but the Catalan giants have successfully persuaded him to return to active duty.

In response to Ter Stegen's serious injury, which has left a gap in their squad, Barcelona acted promptly.

Szczesny went directly from the airport to undergo a medical examination, and if all goes well, he is expected to sign a contract lasting until the end of the season.

An official announcement confirming the agreement is anticipated later today, and Szczesny will join manager Thomas Flick's squad alongside fellow goalkeepers Inaki Pena and Alvaro Astralaga.

Szczesny himself expressed his excitement about this unexpected opportunity, stating, "This is a chance I couldn't let slip by. It's worth coming back to defend Barcelona's goal."

As the club gears up for upcoming challenges, his experience could prove invaluable during this crucial period.
