They follow the trainings in the pre-season 2024/25 of the FC Barcelona under the tutela of the German trainer Hansi Flick. These sessions of work are allowing to the German technician familiarise with the players with which will explain for the next campaign, waiting for the incorporation of the international that participated in the Eurocopa and the Glass America.
One of the appearances in which the one of Baden-Wurtemberg is putting special attention is in the goalkeepers of the team. Although Marc-André ter Stegen has ensured the place to title, the one of Heidelberg also is evaluating the options for the second and third guardameta. In the pre-season, Flick is working with three cancerberos: Iñaki Crag, Ander Astralaga and Diego Kochen.
In principle, it expects that Crag assume the role of second goalkeeper for the season 2024/25. In spite of the speculations on a possible exit in search of more minutes in this market estival, the Alicante is considered the most experienced option between the possible acting of the '1' germano.
Astralaga And Kochen, the candidates to be the third goalkeeper of the FC Barcelona in this season 2024/25
Now, the place of third guardameta seems less clear-cut. By his experience and his time in the first team, Astralaga could be the indicated to exert this function. In the past course, the one of Berango alternated announcements between the first team (38) in which it exerted like third goalkeeper, second when lesionó Ter Stegen and Iñaki Crag had to assume the titularity. Besides, it saw action in the Barça Atlètic (26), where shared performances with Marc Vidal and had 16 titularities.
Nevertheless, the case of the guardameta Basque also generates some expectation, since as they suggest in 'SPORT', would not be odd that the Barcelona club look for a loan for him in this market of summer for him. This would allow him purchase experience in an upper category, since his opportunities in the first team are very limited. Although it could be headline in the Barça Atlètic, this team still finds in the First RFEF (third division). Therefore, it would not be descartable that look for him a new adventure in another square so that it can develop even more.
To close, is the case of Diego Kochen, the one who outlines like one of the big goalkeepers of the Barcelonan picture in the future. If Astralaga is yielded, is likely that the North American occupy the place of goalkeeper title in the Barça Atlètic to follow developing and win experience. Likewise, it exists the option that it also was the third guardameta of the first team, as it went it in several occasions (31) in the season 2023/24 recently concluded.
