Wojciech Szczęsny spent the last 2 years on loan in Roma FC. The keeper was out-of-favour at Arsenal and had to fight for his place in the starting XI with David Ospina , so he preferred a move to Roma to be #1 instead. He had a first good season so Roma decided to extend his loan.
Now after he finished his loan spell, Juventus made an offer to get the 27-year-old from the Gunners and prepare him to be heir to their legend Gianluigi Buffon, who is set to retire next year, at age 40 after 18 years at the club.
According to Sky Sports the Bianconeri sealed the deal for 16 million euros for 4 years, earning 4 million euros a year.
The Polish is a good keeper, but a team like Juventus must aim bigger. Would he be able to cover the gap that Gigi leaves? I guess not. There are many better keepers out there, like Buffon's namesake Gianluigi Donnarumma. The latter is still young and able to improve more over the years. I mean he's excellent right now! Anyway, it is a good signing for the club. And who knows, he could become Juve's next legend!
