Barcelona man set to sign new deal

According to Sport, Barca have wasted little time in trying to tie down Ter Stegen’s long-term future, and expect a new deal to be wrapped up and signed this week.

Ajax have recalled Jasper Cillessen for their Champions League play-off second leg against Rostov, despite the goalkeeper reportedly being close to joining Barcelona.

“If we can have a solution before (the transfer window ends) – he is getting fitter but it depends if anyone is interested, if they are, we will listen to them”.

“We have five keepers are the moment”.

Additionally, Rafinha was back at the Ciutat Esportiva after helping Brazil win gold at the Olympics, although he didn’t train with his teammates due to a cold.

The Chilean will land in the north west of England on Tuesday afternoon to finalize his move to the Blues, although nothing will be confirmed until Barca signs Jasper Cillessen. If he has to compete, he’s a very good goalkeeper, so it won’t be too hard.

Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez brought in Matz Sels over the summer, seemingly demoting Krul to number two duties on Tyneside.

The move is expected to be finalized once City gets their Bravo deal done and Cillessen paves the way for Krul. “At 27, he is at an age where goalkeepers must showcase all that they have learned up to now”.

The Dutch keeper has nearly recovered from a knee injury which has kept him out since October but he won’t get much game time at St James’ Park with Matz Sels first choice and three other keepers in Rob Elliott, Karl Darlow and Freddie Woodman all in contention.

The Holland global ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament playing for his country last October.
