Barcelona, led by Laporta and Deco, seeks to strengthen the ranks in all positions, especially with the economic crisis that the Catalan team is suffering from.
Barcelona’s top priority in summer contracts is to sign a top-caliber goalkeeper, given Deco’s lack of conviction in German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, in addition to the possibility of a huge offer from Saudi Arabia to include the German goalkeeper.
In light of this, a press report revealed Barcelona’s desire to sign a new goalkeeper during the coming period.
According to information received from the Spanish newspaper “Mundo Deportivo”, Barcelona’s move will depend on the Saudi offer that will reach the player, in addition to the fate of second goalkeeper Iñaki Peña.
The newspaper confirmed that Almeria’s Portuguese goalkeeper Luis Maximiano and former Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea are at the top of the list to succeed Ter Stegen in Barcelona starting next season.
The newspaper concluded that Barcelona sporting director Deco believes that one of Barcelona’s biggest weaknesses in recent years is German goalkeeper Ter Stegen, and believes that his mistakes caused Barcelona to lose many points.
