Barcelona targeting three goalkeepers heading into the summer transfer window | OneFootball

As we move closer to the upcoming summer transfer window, it is apparent that Barcelona do require reinforcements despite a near-perfect season.

One of the pressing concerns for the Blaugrana could be the goalkeeping department, with uncertainty brewing over the future of Wojciech Szczesny.

Should Szczesny decide to retire, Barcelona might have to bring in a new face in goal, who can serve as an alternative to Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Barcelona likely to target three players

To that end, Diario AS suggests Barcelona may target three goalkeepers heading into the summer transfer window.

It was earlier reported that Barcelona were keeping tabs on multiple youth players as a replacement for Szczesny and that the club have ruled out signing a new goalkeeper.

However, it appears Barça are targeting multiple goalkeepers in the market, including Portuguese international Diogo Costa.

The FC Porto star has been a consistent performer over the years, though his €75 million makes him quite an expensive option for the club.

Another goalkeeper Barcelona are monitoring is Joan Garcia, who has impressed onlookers with his performance for Espanyol this season.

Interestingly, Real Madrid, too, are keeping tabs on Garcia, who reportedly has a release clause worth just €25 million.

Finally, Barcelona are also interested in the services of Bart Verbruggen, the Brighton & Hove Albion who has established himself as a first-choice ‘keeper for the Seagulls.

All these aforementioned goalkeepers are relatively young and have a high ceiling, thereby making them an ideal long-term replacement for ter Stegen.

However, given Barcelona’s economic position going into the summer transfer window, it remains unlikely the club will be able to afford a move for any of them.
