Barcelona have reportedly added Netherlands international Bart Verbruggen to their list of goalkeeping targets.
According to Diario Sport, Barcelona aren’t in a rush to sign a new stopper but are looking at potential options for the future.
It’s also claimed that Verbruggen was watched by Barcelona during Spain’s recent Nations League quarter-finals against the Netherlands.
The Dutchman is still only 22 and is said to be a perfect fit. He’s tall, good with his feet and has bags of potential.
Verbruggen has a contract with Brighton until 2028 but it’s thought that Barcelona could make a move for a new goalkeeper in 2026.
The Catalans are set to extend Wojciech Szczęsny in the summer for another year, while Marc-Andre ter Stegen is due back from a serious injury in the coming weeks.
In the short-term Barcelona won’t move for a goalkeeper, but it it seems thoughts are already turning to how to replace 32-year-old Ter Stegen.
