Sources: Man City view exit-linked Barcelona star as major market opportunity | OneFootball

According to a new report from Fichajes, Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen has become a serious option for Manchester City as they look to strengthen their goalkeeping position this summer.

The Premier League champions are considering big changes after first-choice goalkeeper Ederson Moraes struggled for consistency last season.

His mistakes started to cost the team points, raising concerns among manager Pep Guardiola and his staff.

Although Ederson has been a key part of City’s success in recent years, his dip in form has made Guardiola think twice about his long-term future at the club.

Guardiola is now searching for a goalkeeper who can not only make big saves but also contribute to the team’s build-up play with composure and precision on the ball.

In this context, Guardiola has set his sights on Ter Stegen, who has been one of the world’s best goalkeepers in recent years. Despite his reputation, Ter Stegen is set to lose his place under Hansi Flick at Barcelona.

As a result, the Catalan giants are open to selling the German shot-stopper if a good offer comes from the Premier League, especially since they need to reduce their wage bill. Letting Ter Stegen go would free up a significant chunk of salary space for Barça.

For Manchester City, the fit seems perfect, as Guardiola believes the German has the qualities needed to adapt quickly to English football.

With the pressure on Guardiola to reclaim domestic dominance mounting, moves like this could be crucial for the team.

If Manchester City complete the signing, it would be a win-win situation for both Barcelona and Manchester City. This way, the Blaugrana would get rid of one of the biggest earners, while for City, they would get a worthy replacement.
