It was advanced here about a month ago, FC BARCELONA had in mind 20 year old BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH goalkeeper TER STEGEN to replace their current goalie VICTOR VALDES when the latter left at the end of his contract period.
Other names sounding are Thibaut Courtois, David De Gea, Pepe Reina & Andres Fernández, but Ten Steger is strong. So much so the Spanish TV announced via a popular late-night Football show that the German goalie had a pre-agreement with Barça. The Spanish Football Club has a budget of between 12-20M€ to find the goalkeeping replacement & their choice has been made. Ter Stegen is the German goalkeeping promise who was named "Best Goalkeeper in the Bundesliga" last season.
The representative of Ter Stegen rejects the news coming out of Spain & denies a pre-agreement. The agent has no choice but to do so, as his player is still under contract with his Club & negotiating with Barcelona is not legal under FIFA laws without the players Clubs content.
Stay tuned!
The news at FC BARCELONA is that their "veteran" goalkeeper VICTOR VALDES does not wish to renew his contract with the Club & desires to find new adventures elsewhere. Shock news if true & a big hole to fill to protect the Barça goal.
But the Spanish giant has a player already in mind to fill the vacancy if they were to lose Valdes. According to local Football observers young German & BORUSSIA MONCHENGLADBACH 20 year old TER STEGEN is the chosen man. The player has had a top 2012 year & has been voted the "Best Goalkeeper" in the Bundesliga.
Stay tuned with this one, as it depends if Victor Valdes finally decides to change Clubs & leave the team of his Football life.
