Katalonia Club's sports director Andoni Zubizarreta admitted that the team is finalizing a contract with the future successor of Victor Valdes.
However, one of the leaders of "Barcelona" did not reveal the name of the newcomer again.
"I already know who will replace V. Valdes leaving the club. We have almost finalized the contract, but we need a little more time before we can officially announce it," A. Zubizarreta said in an interview with the radio station "Catalunya Radio."
Many football pundits have no doubt that this summer, 21-year-old current goalkeeper of Borussia Monchengladbach, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, will join "Barcelona."
However, the team from Catalonia has so far avoided officially confirming these speculations.
It is believed that "Barcelona" is waiting for V. Valdes himself to announce his new career destination and only then will there be an announcement about the acquisition of M.-A. Ter Stegen.
"We already knew that Victor would be leaving the team. Now we also found out that C. Puyol is leaving. Well, a lot of work awaits us this summer. Carles already hinted to me that his place should be taken by a flexible and fast defender," said A. Zubizarreta.
