TER STEGEN CHOSEN BY FC BARCELONA TO SUBSTITUTE VALDES ?

Marc André Ter Stegen, that is the name & the chosen goalkeeping substitute of Victor Valdes at FC Barcelona. At least this is what was announced on Spanish radio last night in a popular late-night "Football & Sports" programme. The 21 year old Borussia Monchengladbach keeper has an estimate price of around 10M€ which will need to be negotiated.

Although this news seems "fresh" it is not a surprise. As written here months back FC Barcelona has been following closely the player & has had him high on their list from the day they were told by Victor Valdes that he would not renew contract & leave the 30th of June 2014.

Although the announcement sounds reliable it is still speculation. The other much talked about possible substitute of Victor Valdes at FC Barcelona is currently on-loan from Liverpool FC to Napoles goalkeeper Pepe Reina. The loan to Napoles looked beforehand as a "brigde" towards Barça. Either way the 30th of June is far away & in Football things can change overnight.

Stay tuned.
