The Future of Barcelona's Goalkeeping Position

Marc-André ter Stegen to Remain Barcelona's Number One

It has been announced that Marc-André ter Stegen will remain as Barcelona's first-choice goalkeeper for the upcoming season. The German international has been with the club since 2014 and has established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Ter Stegen has made over 300 appearances for Barcelona, winning 14 major trophies, including five La Liga titles and one Champions League.

Inaki Pena to Serve as Backup Goalkeeper

Inaki Pena, a product of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, will serve as the backup goalkeeper for the upcoming season. The 23-year-old has made 14 appearances for the first team, including two in the Champions League.

Pena is a highly-rated goalkeeper with a bright future. He has been capped by Spain at the youth level and is expected to challenge ter Stegen for the starting spot in the coming years.

Neto Departs Barcelona

Neto, who has been Barcelona's backup goalkeeper since 2019, has left the club to join Bournemouth on a free transfer. The Brazilian made just 21 appearances for Barcelona in three seasons.

Neto's departure gives Pena a clear path to becoming the club's number two goalkeeper behind ter Stegen.

Barcelona's Goalkeeping Future

With ter Stegen and Pena in goal, Barcelona has a solid foundation in the goalkeeping position for the years to come. Ter Stegen is one of the best goalkeepers in the world, and Pena is a promising young talent with a bright future.

The future of Barcelona's goalkeeping position is in good hands.
