Ter Stegen has been Barcelona's undisputed number one goalkeeper for eight years since signing from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2014, and the German is now only 29 years old, and there is no need for the team to replace a goalkeeper, who has won 127 clean sheets for the club. Although Ter Stegen is still one of the best goalkeepers in football, that doesn't mean Barcelona won't sign a new goalkeeper to compete with the Germany international. Previous target Maarten Vandevoordt has pledged to join Leipzig, but there are plenty of other goalkeepers who could compete for positions with Ter Stegen at Camp Nou.
Mellie
Leeds
22 years old
France U21 international
Already a regular Premier League player at the age of 22, Mélier is 1.93 metres tall, and his sense of position and athleticism complement his figure – as evidenced by the league's highest 114 saves. In the Top Flight, it's been a relatively difficult season for Leeds and Mélier – the Frenchman has only kept four clean sheets compared to just 11 last season – but for coach Jesse Marsh, the youngster has few opponents. "First of all, I think his talent is huge," the American manager told the media, "he's a young goalkeeper, the best of all the young goalkeepers I've ever seen." It's really exciting. "Melier signed a five-year contract last summer, so it would have cost a lot of money to get him, but with Leeds still facing the threat of relegation, Barca may have a chance to buy him cheaply.
Drongovsky
Florence
24 years old
Poland international
Another relatively young goalkeeper, Barcelona, may be more readily available, is Fiorentina's Drongovsky. Dragovsky has been the number one at Frankie Stadium for the past two seasons, and this season he became Terraciano's deputy, hamstring injury hamstop his progress. Although he has only started seven times this season, he has been amazed in every appearance. With his contract set to expire in 2022, he may soon prove to be an affordable acquisition for Barcelona.
Bunu
Seville
31 years old
Morocco/Canada
Barcelona can also find the right target in La Liga, and Yassin Bunu's two seasons at Sevilla have attracted their interest as we all know. The Canada-born Moroccan international made his first trip to Spain with Atletico Madrid in 2012 and unlike other players, Bunu doesn't need time to adjust to La Liga, but he won the Europa League with Sevilla in 2020 and he also played in some stressful matches. "I think this club is a good place where the players feel Sevilla ambitious," he said when he signed a new contract in February, "you want to continue playing for a club that is improving." That's why I had a great time here. There are a lot of rumors in football and I'm really not proud of them. Barca may need to spend a lot of money to buy him, but the 55 million euros spent on Felan Torres in January shows that camp Nou's wallet can still be relaxed when needed.
Lavon
Nantes
23 years old
France/Burkina Faso
The second Frenchman on the list has already played for Fiorentina, Italy, and he has no difficulty adapting to life at Barca. Is he willing? Lavon, who is already captain of Nantes at the age of 23, has clearly enjoyed his football career, helping the team to a 3-1 home win over Paris Saint-Germain this season. In this match, the team reported a goalie rating of 10/10 for his third ever time. There is no doubt that Lavon would prefer to show its strength on the European stage, so Barcelona is better suited to offer such a platform than Nantes.
Injaci-Penha
Galatasaray (Barca on loan)
23 years old
Spain
With Neto leaving Barcelona, the club's sense of urgency to offer Ter Stegen a competitive slate is understandable. But they may already have a solution. Spain's U21 star Ignacchi Penha is currently on loan to Galatassari and has replaced Fernando Muslera as the club's top goalkeeper in recent weeks. Since Peña took the start, the team has remained unbeaten in six consecutive rounds of the Turkish Super League. Peña is also a close friend of Garvey and Pedri and may help form the backbone of the team in the coming generation. He also doesn't need clubs to pay transfer fees.
