Barça reportedly have the signing of a star goalkeeper on the table to replace Ter Stegen

Marc-André Ter Stegen's long-term injury has opened the debate on the FC Barcelona goal. As of today, the position is covered by Iñaki Peña, who has kept a clean sheet in three of four games as a starter, and Wojciech Szczesny, signed by the club as a free agent, but once the season is over and depending on the performance of the two aforementioned players, the Catalan club would analyze the option of incorporating a new goalkeeper.

And the fact is that 'MATS', at 32 years old, has said goodbye to the season and there are doubts about his fitness once he rejoins the first team. Although the German looks in the mirror of Thibaut Courtois, who also suffered a couple of serious injuries last season and continued to be a starter at an impressive level at Real Madrid after his return, the Catalans are working to 'cover their backs' in any scenario.

Jorge Mendes puts Diogo Costa's name on the table for Barça

For this reason, the agent Jorge Mendes, who has a good relationship with Joan Laporta and manages players such as Lamine Yamal and Balde, has reportedly offered Barça the signing of Diogo Costa, star goalkeeper for Porto and the Portuguese national team. At 25 years old, the Portuguese is one of the best in the world in his position and is on the agenda of the continent's big clubs, among which the Catalans could be added.

Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also reportedly after him, but his operation would not be cheap. According to 'El Nacional.cat', the dragons would demand an amount greater than 50 million euros to agree to transfer him, a figure that is affordable for the Catalans once the renewal with Nike is closed, but which seems very high for a player who would fight for the starting position with the captain of the Blaugrana team, whose form after his return will define the need to reinforce the position.
