Barcelona decide to go all out for La Liga rising star available for €25 million

Marc-Andre Ter Stegen’s position as Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper is being questioned and word has it that the club refuse to hand him the title unless he proves his worth in pre-season.

The German star’s age coupled with his poor form and track record of multiple knee surgeries has got the board prioritising the signing of a new goalkeeper and Espanyol star Joan Garcia has emerged as a serious target.

The Spaniard is available for a bargain fee of just €25 million this summer and Barcelona see him as a great option to reinforce the goal.

The rivalry between Barcelona and Espanyol and the social impact the move will have, needless to say, have arisen as obstacles.
