Blaugrana look to lock in core players ahead of pivotal summer — Szczesny’s deal top priority amid ter Stegen doubts.
Full Details:
Barcelona are reportedly working on extending the contracts of Eric Garcia, Frenkie de Jong, and Wojciech Szczesny, per Tribuna sources.
Eric Garcia & Frenkie de Jong:
Both have contracts until June 2026, but the club wants to secure their long-term futures now.
Garcia has grown into a commanding presence in defence.
De Jong, despite past transfer speculation, is seen as a midfield cornerstone under Barça’s next project.
Wojciech Szczesny:
The surprise hit of the season since his October 2024 arrival, Szczesny’s current deal expires in summer 2025.
He became first-choice keeper after ter Stegen’s injury and has impressed with consistency and leadership.
Talks are ongoing to extend his stay, possibly until 2027 or longer, as Barça rethink their goalkeeping hierarchy.
Why It Matters:
Continuity & stability ahead of a summer rebuild
Club preparing for life beyond ter Stegen
De Jong’s commitment signals confidence in the club’s future
Garcia’s progress shows trust in youth development paying off
Expect official announcements once the season concludes — but internally, the deals are describ
ed as “a matter of when, not if.”
