Marc-André ter Stegen's recent injury has impacted Barcelona's roster planning. Although the short-term solution came with signing Wojciech Szczęsny, the club is still considering a reliable long-term replacement for the goalkeeper position.
Details: According to Diario Sport, Barcelona has identified four goalkeepers who could compete for the No. 1 spot: Bart Verbruggen from Brighton, Diogo Costa from Porto, Marcin Bulka from Nice, and Lucas Chevalier from Lille.
The main challenge with Costa is the strong interest from multiple top clubs, and Barcelona’s financial constraints prevent high spending. Chevalier also has a high price tag, making Bulka the most affordable and reliable backup option for ter Stegen.
Reminder: It was previously reported that Szczęsny, who has yet to debut for Barcelona, will leave the club when his contract expires on June 30, 2025.
