Barcelona is said to be in the race with Real Madrid to acquire 22-year-old Dutch goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen from Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion.
Recent reports from Spain suggest that Barcelona has taken notice of Verbruggen as they seek a replacement for the inconsistent performances of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
Nevertheless, there will be strong competition from Real Madrid, as Brighton has placed a value of approximately €40 million on the young goalkeeper.
Barcelona is contemplating a future replacement for Ter Stegen, whose performance has been inconsistent in recent years, particularly evident at the beginning of the 2024/25 season.
Verbruggen offers a feasible choice for the Catalan team. At a price of €40 million, Verbruggen may be a more cost-effective option, creating an enticing possibility for his potential transfer to either Barcelona or Real Madrid in La Liga.
