Marc-Andre ter Stegen lacks serious competition at FC Barcelona. That should change next season.


FC Barcelona are considering signing a new goalkeeper to put pressure on Marc-Andre ter Stegen, according to Mundo Deportivo. The DFB keeper is not playing the best season, but is initially set under coach Xavi Hernandez.

The Catalan sports magazine has therefore drawn up an imaginary list of five goalkeepers who should be of interest to Barça: Illan Meslier (21, Leeds United), Bartlomiej Dragowski (24, Fiorentina), Bono (30, Sevilla FC), Maarten Vandevoordt (19, KRC Genk) and Alban Lafont (23, FC Nantes).

Yassine Bounou, called Bono, is said to have the most interesting profile. The Canadian-born Moroccan international has been playing at Seville for a year and a half and has been consistently excellent there. However, his contract runs until 2024.

In the Barça camp, there could be a big chair move in the goalkeeper position in the summer. Heavy earner Neto (32) was supposed to leave the club in January, but no one was interested. Inaki Pena (22), on loan to Galatasaray until the end of the season, could also become an option for the post behind ter Stegen.
