The youth player that Flick will try as a replacement for Ter Stegen in the Barça of the future

Marc-André Ter Stegen is the 'master and gentleman' of the goal of the FC Barcelona. The guardameta of 32 years has agreement with the entity blaugrana until 2028 and has the absolute confidence so much of the sportive direction as of Hansi Flick, that knows him to perfection of his go through the selection of Germany. By this reason, the culés do not pose the signing of a new goalkeeper, since it is not simple that a guardameta of international level access to join to the team like acting of a cancerbero with a so long agreement.

In this sense, and except a twist of unexpected script, Iñaki Crag outlines like second goalkeeper for the season 2024/25. The put of 25 years has agreement until 2026, considers that it has surrendered to good level when it has required of his services and his wage is not high. The experience purchased in the course 23/24, where was to title during three months by the drop of the German, is very valued in the club, where think that the footballer is the best spare for 'MATS' in case to present a similar situation.

However, the goalkeeper that more ballots has for 'adueñarse' of the arch culé in the future is Diego Kochen. The guardameta American of 18 years landed in the City Condal in 2019, pertinent of the Foundation Marcet, and begins to do a name in the Masia. With agreement until 2028, the sportive direction considers that it is moment to begin to 'watch him' more than near, including him in the trainings of the first team and friendly, in addition to using him in official meetings of the filial in First RFEF.

As 'Sportive World', the idea of the club and of Hansi Flick is to test him to a more demanding level to do an assessment with more foundation, since the past season played little. In March, was to title in the defeat of the Barça Atlètic in front of Unionistas of Salamanca (4-1), and since has seen little more. The plan would go through to alternate the titularity of the filial with Ander Astralaga, of 20 years, that finish to complete a good campaign in the team of Rafa Márquez delivering the minutes with Marc Vidal (24 years), the one who will go back to the Andorra after a cession.

The future of Astralaga, in the air

By his part, in Can Barça have not lost the confidence in Astralaga, whose agreement expires in 2025 and all indicia that will follow under the orders of Márquez in the filial. The guardameta also could do the times of third goalkeeper in the first team, but his future in the club would be an interrogante. With a shorter agreement and the hard competition of Ter Stegen and Iñaki Crag, exists the possibility that the player look for minutes and opportunities in another team.
