Barcelona manager Hansi Flick has expressed his desire for goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny to remain at the club. Flick stated that he is happy with Szczesny and believes the goalkeeper is also content at Barcelona. Szczesny, who plays as a goalkeeper, has previously played for clubs such as Juventus and Arsenal, and is known for his shot-stopping abilities. Flick also made a comment about Szczesny’s smoking habits, saying that he smokes occasionally, a behaviour the manager had not witnessed before, but noted that Szczesny is at the right age and has become calmer.
Flick’s comments come as the club is reportedly discussing the future of several players, with the manager’s own contract being a subject of recent speculation. According to recent reports, Barcelona were in talks to extend Flick’s contract, with a new deal being potentially offered amid transfer plans. As reported earlier, Barcelona Director Deco had expressed optimism over Flick’s impact on the team. The club has seen some changes in player availability, with Gavi being cleared to play under Flick’s management.
