Barcelona's Goalkeeper Overhaul Forces Deco to Act

Barcelona's goalkeeping roster has become one of the club's most complex areas ahead of the summer window. Sporting director Deco must resolve the status of six keepers before any new signings. Joan Garcia is firmly established as Hansi Flick's first-choice goalkeeper. Wojciech Szczesny remains the deputy, though his position could change. Alex Remiro, who is open to a new challenge after his stint at Real Sociedad, is being linked as an experienced addition. Marc-Andre ter Stegen has returned from his loan spell at Girona. Ajax are reported to be interested in signing ter Stegen. His high salary is cited as a major obstacle to a departure.

Diego Kochen is expected to leave on loan from Barca Atletic to secure regular first-team football. Inaki Pena, Ander Astralaga and Aron Yaakobishvili are all slated for discussions about their futures. Yaakobishvili is likely to head out on another loan. Barcelona must reduce the number of goalkeepers on their books before pursuing any market moves. Deco's upcoming decisions will determine whether the club adds a new keeper such as Remiro or reshapes the existing roster.
