Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr have started talks to sign Wojciech Szczesny from Juventus, reports say, with the Italian side open to selling the stopper.
The Polish international moved to Serie A in 2017 after a successful spell at Arsenal and quickly adapted to life in Italy. He made 35 appearances in the 2023/24 campaign, helping Juventus finish third in the league.
Reports claim that Juventus will be ready to sell the stopper, as a new contract looks likely for their backup goalkeeper Mattia Perin. Monza's Michele Di Gregorio also looks set to join the Serie A side as a new starter – paving the way for Szczesny's move.
Now, the 34-year-old may have moved to Saudi Arabia, while Al Nassr plans to leave. In accordance with Fabrizio Romanonegotiations have begun and the decision will be left in the player's hands.
The former Arsenal player is currently under contract with Juve until 2025, meaning a sale this summer would make financial sense for the Italian club.
Since arriving in Italy, Szczesny has won three league titles, three Coppa Italias and two Italian Super Cups, but a move to Al Nassr could allow him to challenge for the Saudi Pro League title alongside Cristiano Ronaldo, Aymeric Laporte and Sadio Mane.
Before looking ahead to the upcoming 2024/25 campaign, Szczesny must first navigate the European Championships after being selected to represent Poland at the tournament. The team will face their first game of the tournament on June 16, when they face the Netherlands in the group stage.
