Monaco Discussing Potential Move for Barcelona Goalkeeper Ter Stegen

Football News

AS Monaco is reportedly in discussions with Barcelona`s goalkeeper, Marc-André ter Stegen, concerning a potential transfer.

The club from the Principality has been actively searching for a new first-choice goalkeeper this summer. Monaco`s CEO, Thiago Scuro, confirmed at the end of the Ligue 1 season that they needed a new keeper, as the current options, Radoslaw Majecki and Philipp Köhn, did not consistently impress throughout the season.

Various other goalkeepers have been considered, including David De Gea (who renewed with Fiorentina), Djordje Petrovic, Marcin Bulka, Vanja Milinkovic-Savic of Torino, and Ugurcan Çakir from Trabzonspor. Çakir is seen as a more financially viable target.

Ter Stegen, facing increased competition at Barcelona recently from Joan Garcia, remains a potential target. Discussions are understood to have taken place with the German international, whose current contract with Barcelona extends until 2028.
