The future of Ter Stegen
FC Barcelona is facing Ter Stegen’s imminent departure for Saudi Arabia, after receiving a tempting offer. Given his age and the opportunity for a new challenge in his career, his departure seems inevitable, which represents a serious blow to the team.
The search for a new goalkeeper
During Ter Stegen’s injury, Xavi Hernández trusted Iñaki Peña, a goalkeeper from the quarry. Although he fulfilled, he did not reach the level required for a club of the magnitude of Barça. Therefore, the search for an elite goalkeeper has begun, with two names standing out on the list of candidates.
Luis Maximiliano: an affordable option
Luis Maximiliano, Almería goalkeeper, has stood out despite playing in the last placed team in La Liga EA Sports. His signing would be affordable, considering the situation of the Andalusian team, which makes him an attractive option for Barça.
David De Gea: an experience option
In addition, former Manchester United player David De Gea is on the list of possible reinforcements. After his departure from the English team, he has been without a club, receiving offers from Saudi Arabia, but showing interest in returning to Europe. His arrival at Barça would represent a surprise, but his experience and willingness to accept a reasonable salary make him an option to consider.
Ter Stegen’s legacy
Ter Stegen’s departure represents a challenge for Barça, since for a decade he has been one of the best goalkeepers in the world, being a fundamental pillar for the team. Replacing him will be a difficult task, and the resolution of the situation will depend largely on movements in Saudi Arabia.
