Inside Barcelona’s dressing room, one player has won exceptional admiration. Though signed strictly as Ter Stegen’s back‑up, Wojciech Szczęsny’s attitude and professionalism—on the pitch and in daily training—have quickly made him a beloved figure. His influence is so strong that several leaders‑in‑the‑squad, including Raphinha, Gavi, Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal, are urging the club to keep him for at least one more season.
El Nacional reports that the group is united in lobbying for the Polish goalkeeper to extend his stay. Szczęsny has shone whenever called upon, showing sharp reflexes and calm authority, yet carrying himself with humility. His experience, humor and easy rapport—especially with younger talents such as Gavi and Yamal—have helped bind the squad together.
Barça’s sporting chiefs are therefore weighing up a new, lower‑cost deal that would keep him in his current supporting role. His contract is nearing expiry, so the clock is ticking, but the message from inside the locker room is unmistakable: the players want Szczęsny to remain at Camp Nou.
