Barcelona’s management has allegedly pinpointed a fresh goalkeeper prospect for the upcoming summer: Bart Verbruggen from Brighton & Hove Albion.
Per Diario Sport, Catalonia’s transfer team is focusing on acquiring a new goalkeeper due to recent issues in that position.
With Marc-André ter Stegen out for an extended period, Wojciech Szczęsny on a short-term contract until the end of the season, and Iñaki Peña yet to prove himself as a dependable first-choice option, Barcelona’s focus has shifted towards securing a reliable presence between the posts.
Numerous names have circulated in the media as potential options, including Ligue 1 talents Marcin Bułka and Lucas Chevalier, along with Porto’s Diogo Costa.
According to Dutch sources, Barcelona has included Verbruggen in their list of potential candidates.
The young player from the Netherlands has done well at Brighton, and Barcelona’s interest shows a strong desire to strengthen their goalkeeping options.
