Ter Stegen willing to extend Barca stay

Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is willing to commit his long-term future to the club, according to his agent.

The 24-year-old German goalkeeper shared goalkeeping duties with Claudio Bravo for his first two seasons at Camp Nou following his move from Borussia Monchengladbach, but since the Chilean’s move to Manchester City he has established himself as the first-choice goalkeeper.

Blaugrana president Josep Maria Bartomeu stated the club are mulling over a new deal for the Germany international, prompting agent Gerd vom Bruch to reveal his client is more than open to extending his stay in Catalonia.

"He wanted to play more and there was interest in him from some big clubs," Vom Bruch told Diari Ara.

"Barca said that there was no way they would let him go and we accepted that.

"Now Marc's in the position which he himself had set as his target, starting in the league and in Europe.

“His [Bartomeu's comments] were a sign of appreciation and he can see himself renewing his contract with Barca."
