“It would be disrespectful if I didn't consider this” – The veteran goalkeeper opens up about the Barcelona offer
Barcelona are expected to make a move for a new goalkeeper soon after confirming that Marc-Andre Ter Stegen will be out for the rest of the season due to the serious knee injury he sustained during the win over Villarreal on Sunday. Now, the player in pole position to join is former Arsenal and Juventus stopper Wojciech Szczesny.

According to reports, Szczesny has already agreed to come out of retirement to sign for Barcelona, where he will compete with Inaki Pena and Aster Astralaga for the starting position. On Wednesday, he spoke Sport about the situation.
“I respect the history of Barcelona very much; it is one of the best clubs in the world. I understand the difficult situation that has been generated for them after the injury of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and I think it would be disrespectful if I did not not considered this option.”
The expectation is this Barcelona confirm Szczesny's arrival at the end of the week, and could also be involved for the trip to Osasuna on Saturday.
