**Barcelona, Spain -** Barcelona’s potential signing of goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny could face a stiff competition for the starting spot, according to Bayern Munich manager Julian Flick. While the Polish international has been linked with a move to the Camp Nou, Flick, who managed Szczesny during his time at Bayern, cautioned against assuming the goalkeeper would immediately be the first choice.
Speaking to reporters today, Flick stated, “There are no guarantees for Szczesny if he goes to Barcelona. They have a strong goalkeeper in Ter Stegen, and he’s been performing consistently well. Szczesny is a great goalkeeper, but it’s up to the manager to decide who starts.”
Flick’s comments suggest that Szczesny, if he signs, may have to fight for his place in Barcelona’s lineup. This could make the decision to join the Spanish giants a more complex one for the experienced keeper.
It remains to be seen if Barcelona will pursue Szczesny, and if they do, whether he is willing to accept a potential backup role. However, Flick’s statements provide a realistic perspective on the challenges Szczesny could face should he make the move to the Catalan club.
