FC Barcelona apparently has plans to sign a goalkeeper who can serve as a substitute for Marc André ter Stegen and who has future projection. However, this incorporation, for the moment, is on 'stand-by' as it is subject to a series of conditions

The FC Barcelona is fully conscious that, although at present it is not a priority like reinforcing the zone of mediocentros and the left extreme, has to strengthen the goal of face to the future. For now, anybody seems to question that the place of guardameta title has to be occupied by Marc-André ter Stegen, one of the best goalkeepers of the world, the one who has agreement with the club until 2028 and that Hansi Flick knows well of his stage in the German selection.

Nevertheless, the German trainer, in principle, seems not having a big knowledge of the others alternative that the club has, like the second goalkeeper, Iñaki Crag, as well as the available options in the filial, as Ander Astralaga or Diego Kochen. Therefore, the position of second cancerbero could be subject to modifications, depending on what the technician of Baden-Wurtemberg go observing along the summer.

In this sense, and taking into account that Flick, as it exposes in 'Sportive World', needs to have two guardametas in which it trust fully, would not be descartable that, as it develop the market, can have some movement in this position once that they resolve the priorities of the club and as long as the germano consider that the alternatives of relief of the '1' culé do not adjust to his requests. Therefore, this incorporation keeps 'frozen' for now.

Iñaki Crag, real option to be the 2º guardameta of the FC Barcelona?

It is necessary to remember that one of the most debated areas in the FC Barcelona during this season was the goal, especially when Marc-André ter Stegen lesionó and the responsibility recayó in Iñaki Crag. The guardameta Alicante, also because of the low defensive performance of the team, received a worrisome number of 32 annotations in 17 commitments, keeping his goal to zero in alone three occasions and alternating performances stood out with others in which it left a lot that wish. This generated a big debate on if it was or no the best option to defend the goal culé in case that the cancerbero German was absent. A conversation that still does not seem to have been resolved of the everything.
