After the serious and worrying injury of Marc-André ter Stegen during Villarreal – FC Barcelona (1-5), the Catalan management could decide to get active on the transfer window. Ten names seem interesting to study as free-agent goalkeepers.
Joan Laporta certainly didn’t think he’d be back in the transfer window so quickly. The president of FC Barcelona may have to step up to compensate for Marc-André ter Stegen’s serious injury. Rumour has it that he’ll be out for eight months after rupturing his patellar tendon.
So, about ten names appear interesting to study on the market of those free of any contract. Presentation in a few lines of the ten profiles that we have identified.
Huge experience of three-time Champions League winners to spare… But, it will be necessary to hire a former Real Madrid and PSG player whose recent performances have left one cold.
A former La Masia player who never really had a chance. Jordi Masip has been free of any contract since the end of his contract with Real Valladolid. He obviously knows the club well and is fond of it.
Edgar Badia has had some interesting performances at Elche before being released from a contract. The 32-year-old goalkeeper could provide some temporary relief and competition for Inaki Pena.
Alexandre Letellier has accumulated experience in Ligue 1 and was at PSG as a third option. If he signs for Barça, it will be as a substitute behind Inaki Pena.
An interesting profile with strong experiences in the Czech Republic and Germany. Jiri Pavlenka has often held the fort at Werdre Bremen and could relieve Barça.
Loris Karius has not been in the shoes of a starter for a long time. His pressure management remains a hindrance despite good performances on his line. He knows the scale of the big clubs after having played at Liverpool in particular.
Tomas Vaclik was in the second division last season. His performances were appreciated and he thought he could aim higher this summer. He is lucky to know La Liga well.
Etrit Berisha has gained a lot of experience in Serie A with clubs like Atalanta Bergamo, SPAL, Torino or Empoli. His experience was also significant with Albania.
A familiar face in Ligue 1 since he was a regular at Stade Rennais a few years ago. Having become a backup at Augsburg, Tomas Koubek preferred to remain a free agent. He was able to experience both the Europa League and the joy of winning trophies with the Coupe de France.
Kostas Lamprou has played in the Champions League, the Europa League and the Conference League with Feyenoord Rotterdam and Ajax Amsterdam. He is coming off a blank season but exudes serenity.
