As Ter-Stegen replacement
Will Barcelona now bring in a former Real keeper?
Drama surrounding Marc-Andre ter Stegen: The German team goalkeeper has torn the patella tendon in his right knee and will be out for the rest of the season. Barcelona are now forced to take action. A difficult undertaking!
"The examinations of first-team player Marc ter Stegen have confirmed that he has suffered a complete tear of the patellar tendon in his right knee. He will undergo surgery on Monday afternoon and a new update will be published as soon as it is completed", FC Barcelona wrote on X.
In other words: FC Barcelona need a replacement because with Inaki Pena and Ander Astralaga they only have two inexperienced goalkeepers at their disposal. But the task will not be easy!
Reason: the transfer window is closed! So a goalkeeper without a contract must be found to replace ter-Stegen. According to "Mundo Deportivo", Barcelona already have a few candidates on their radar. One of them is said to be ex-Real keeper Keylor Navas. The 37-year-old Costa Rican international keeper terminated his contract with Paris St-Germain in the summer.
Breakdown goalie also on the list
Another candidate, however, is said to be Loris Karius. The 31-year-old German's career has gone downhill since his mishaps in the 2018 Champions League final against Real Madrid, which is why his contract with Newcastle United was terminated in the summer. Jiri Pavlenka and Tomas Koubek are also alternatives.
