Italian Super Cups: Wojciech Szczesny and Juventus have parted ways after seven seasons together, with the two parties agreeing to a mutual termination of their contract after a deal with Al-Nassr for the Polish international reportedly fell through earlier in the transfer window.
Given the nickname Tek, the 34-year-old made 252 appearances in the Juventus jersey, 200 of them in Serie A. With this last milestone, he became the seventh foreign player to reach the 200-appearance mark in Juventus colours. Following his exit from the club, a statement was posted on the Juventus website.
"It was July 2017 when Tek, as he has come to be known, first walked through the Juventus doors – having had his first taste of Italian football with a two-year loan at Roma – arriving in Turin from London side Arsenal. From that day on, there was an instant spark between Tek and the Bianconeri faithful: smiles, passion and, above all, solid performances between the posts. Tek will always be remembered as a dedicated player and a man who wore our jersey with pride and professionalism. Thanks for everything Tek, and good luck for the future!” read the statement.
