Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny shares his thoughts on his possible role at Barcelona and his ambition to become the first-choice goaltender at the Spanish club.
The player who opened up in a chat with Italian transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano stated that he was not given any guarantees about becoming the number-one goalkeeper at the club.
Szczesny who returned from retirement to sign for Barcelona as a free agent noted that he is at the club to compete but if Iñaki Peña plays ahead of him this season he won’t be sad.

He said; “I didn’t have any guarantee about the #1 spot at Barça. In football, there are no guarantees”.
“I’m here to compete. If I lose the competition, and Iñaki Peña plays well this season, I won’t be sad. The club asked me to help, and I will do it”.
The player was forced to come out of retirement to sign for Barcelona as a replacement for Andre Ter Stergen who has been ruled out for a long time with injury.
