The Polish shot-stopper's signing comes after the Spanish giants' No. 1 Marc-Andre ter Stegen sustained a serious injury during his side's 5-1 win over Villarreal in a LALIGA encounter earlier this month, with the German now expected to be sidelined for at least eight months.
Szczesny has thus been brought in as the replacement, signing a one-year contract with the Spanish outfit.
At 34 years of age, the goalkeeper will bring with him considerable experience, having also previously represented Arsenal and AS Roma.
He has made a total of 548 career appearances, keeping an impressive 210 clean sheets along the way.
