Monaco hold talks with Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen | OneFootball

AS Monaco have held talks with Barcelona’s Marc-André ter Stegen (33) regarding a move, according to a report from L’Équipe.

The Principality club have cast their net far and wide this summer in their search for a new No.1. Monaco’s CEO, Thiago Scuro, confirmed upon the conclusion of the Ligue 1 season that a new goalkeeper was sought after after the current options, Radoslaw Majecki and Philipp Köhn, failed to convince over the duration of the campaign.

David De Gea was considered before he renewed at Fiorentina. Djordje Petrovic and Marcin Bulka have also been linked with Monaco, as have Torino’s Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Trabzonspor’s Ugurcan Çakir. The latter represents a more feasible option, financially.

Ter Stegen, who has recently seen stiff competition arrive at Barcelona in the form of Joan Garcia, is an option. L’Équipe even understands that talks were recently held with the German international, whose contract with the Catalan club runs until 2028.
