Wojciech Szczesny makes decision on Barcelona future
Barcelona have been doing a lot of important business in 2025. Specifically, contract renewals have been worked on, and one more important agreement looks set to be finalised in the coming weeks. In the last couple of weeks, Barcelona finalised a one-year contract renewal for Hansi Flick, and imminently, they will also announce Lamine Yamal's new deal. And on top of this, there are also plans for things to be finalised with the likes of Jules Kounde, and possibly Eric Garcia too.

Barcelona have been keen for the Polish veteran, who signed back in October, to extend his stay, which was confirmed by the man himself earlier this month. And after taking some to decide, he is now said to have decided to remain at the La Liga champions for at least one more season. Wojciech Szczesny decides to commit future to Barcelona Image via NurPhoto As reported by GOAL Polska (via MD), Szczesny has decided to sign a new contract with Barcelona, despite the fact that he could end up with significant less playing time next season due to Marc-Andre Ter Stegen being fully fit – and also the possible arrival of another goalkeeper. Szczesny could remain at Barcelona for another two years According to the report, Szczesny will accept a one-year contract offer that is on the table, with the agreement also including the option to extend his stay by an additional 12 months until the summer of 2027 – at which point, he would be 37. Szczesny had a rocky start to his time as Barcelona's starting goalkeeper back in January, but after a few weeks, he justified Flick's decision to bring him in over Inaki Pena. He played a big part in the Catalans' run to the La Liga and Copa de Rey titles, and he will hope for similar success next season now that he appears to be staying.

Advertisement high right now. Is are fantastic, and this is where something into has to be a little bit, uh, keep this in mind, but this. I, I, look, Barta is gonna win, uh, in my opinion, my only, the only thing I'm really thinking about is how much they're gonna win by. I think they're gonna, they might, uh, overpower, they might, uh, they might just they might embarrass him a little bit, I think with. With the way that they're playing right now, uh, so, again, this is from still, I'm still watching Le Minamal dance and, uh, uh, you know, in the after the Copa de Rey final. I'm still watching him. Did you see he dapped up the king? Advertisement So if you could, if you're dopping up the king, king, so inter better give him royalty, you know what I mean, adapt that's crazy, uh, I think Intern win. I think, uh, Inzagi has proven time and time again that he has the ability to figure teams like this out. I think what Barca does is absolutely incredible, and they do it better than anyone, but I think it's one thing. And I know there's players on each wing that can really hurt you, really bad, but it's one thing they do. And if you can take that away from them, and I know no one has, but if there's anyone that I have confidence I can figure it out, it's Anxagi. Advertisement If you can simply take out the ability for them to, one, have a high line against you and use the counterattack, if you can take that away from them, even for most of the game, not all of the game, but even for large parts of the game, I think you can really sort of Pour water on this fire a little bit. And I think, I think La Liga teams have shown it in the past, and I think Inzagi could figure it out over two what prove what will prove to be two very difficult teams. I'm two very difficult games, I should say. I think Inzagi, his team defensively is so stout. The only question I have, and I still say they're gonna win, is can Lautaro Martinez prove in the crunch time that he could be that guy. Advertisement Oh, OK. That's, I, I don't have that. I don't really have any huge doubts about Lata though. I do think you ain't stopping Pedri. You ain't stopping me. I don't think it's gonna be easy, but I think Gonzagi can figure it out. They, they, they look fantastic these last, uh, uh, couple weeks. Remember this guy's tactics are insane. You got center backs passing to each other in the opposition's box. It's crazy. It's gonna be a fun. Let us know in the comments, Barca fans. Let us know what you think about Alexis's predictions in the back me up, even they're like, yo, you crazy, bro.

Arsenal Sets Sights on Morocco's Star Youssef En-Nesyri
Rabat – Moroccan football star Youssef En-Nesyri is under the radar of several international clubs, including Arsenal. Converging sports-focused news outlets are sharing speculations on Arsenal's interests in En-Nesyri, as he makes headlines for his outstanding performances with Fenerbahce. 'His goal-scoring record suggests he could be a valuable addition to Arsenal as they seek to strengthen their frontline,' sports news outlet Tribuna said on Thursday. This season, the Atlas Lions scored 23 goals in 35 matches, and also made four assists. En-Nesyri's portfolio speaks for itself as the Atlas Lion has played for several renowned clubs – including Seville FC, CD Leganes, and Malaga – before he joined Fenerbahce. In his previous appearances in La Liga, En-Nesyri played 230 games and scored 69 goals. Moroccan talent has been featured around the world. In Spain, he played in La Liga, Copa de Rey, and in Turkiye Super Lig and Kupasi. In terms of European competitions, he played in the UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and Super Cup. En-Nesyri is also a high-level figure for Morocco's national team, which he joined in 2016. With Morocco, he appeared in 78 matches where he scored 23 goals. The Atlas Lion was also among the heroes who contributed to Morocco's World Cup momentum in 2022 in Qatar, where the North African country became the first African and Arab country to reach the semi-finals of the prestigious competition. It is unclear whether Fenerbahce would let go of En-Nesyri, as he is key for the Turkish league. Coach Jose Mourinho says that people have doubted the Atlas Lion. Yet, unlike these critics, Mourinho places his complete trust in En-Nesyri. 'When En-Nesyri arrived, he had no pre-season. He finished the season with Sevilla and then stopped. He wasn't fit for 90 minutes,' the coach said. 'It was either him or Dzeko on the pitch, never both. But when I started playing them together, everything changed.'
