5. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen
Young Borussia Monchengladbach stopper Ter Stegen may not be a name familiar to British audiences, but Barca will be in the market for a goalie sooner or later. There's one straightforward reason for that. Victor Valdes, Barcelona's long-serving number one, has announced his intention to leave the Nou Camp when his contract expires in the summer. Since Valdes told us he seeks a new challenge away from Catalonia speculation has been rife about who will place him between the sticks. Ter Stegen is now the hot favourite. According to
German newspaper Bild, Barca sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta a great keeper himself during his playing career met with Monchengladbach officials this week. Ter Stegen could be picked up by Barcelona for a relative bargain at 10 million. At 21 he still has his whole career ahead of him. Ter Stegen is inexperienced at the highest level, however, which may explain the rumoured transfer fee.
