Polish Goalkeeper’s Current Contract Runs Until Summer 2025
The 34-year-old Szczesny has been playing for Juventus for six years, since 2017. During his time with the Turin club, the Polish goalkeeper has won three Scudettos, and two Italian Cups and Super Cups. In the last season, Szczesny played 35 matches in Serie A for Juventus, keeping 15 clean sheets. According to Transfermarkt, the goalkeeper’s estimated market value is €6 million.
Juventus is open to selling Szczesny as Michele Di Gregorio is set to join the club for €18 million. Negotiations for a new contract with Mattia Perin are also expected to begin soon. Szczesny’s contract with Juventus runs until summer 2025, and there were previous reports that the club wanted to extend his contract until 2026, which Szczesny declined.
Despite his age, the lucrative offer from Al-Nassr, which included a significantly higher salary and a two-year contract, and the opportunity to play alongside his former teammate Cristiano Ronaldo, Szczesny quickly declined the transfer.
Thiago Motta Has Already Chosen a New Goalkeeper for Juventus
Next season, Juventus will have a new primary goalkeeper. The club is determined to assemble the right team to end their wait for a new championship title. Juventus is already working on several deals and has an agreement in place to sign Michele Di Gregorio from Monza.
Although Wojciech Szczesny is an excellent goalkeeper, Calciomercato reports that the new Juventus coach prefers Di Gregorio because his technique better aligns with Thiago Motta’s playing style. Consequently, Juventus may need to part ways with both Mattia Perin and their current first-choice goalkeeper, Szczesny.
Szczesny was a Plan B: The Saudi club has other options
Al-Nassr’s primary transfer target is Liverpool’s goalkeeper Alisson. Alisson’s contract with Liverpool runs until summer 2027. This season, the Brazilian played 32 matches for Liverpool, with 11 clean sheets. However, it has been reported that Liverpool intends to keep the 31-year-old Brazilian despite interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.
As a Plan B, Al-Nassr considered the transfer of Juventus’ Szczesny or former PSG player Keylor Navas. The 37-year-old Costa Rican became a free agent in the summer of 2024, as he did not renew his contract with PSG. Navas played six matches for PSG in the 2023/24 season.
But Szczesny Has Other Options Too
In May, it was revealed that London’s Arsenal is considering signing 34-year-old Juventus goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who was with the Gunners from 2008 to 2017, according to the Evening Standard. Szczesny played in 181 matches for Arsenal’s first team across all competitions, achieving 72 clean sheets and conceding 194 goals.
The source indicates that Arsenal is preparing for the possible departure of goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale next summer. Consequently, the Gunners are considering Szczesny as a potential replacement.
