Although Barcelona secured a 5-1 victory over Villarreal in the sixth round of La Liga, continuing their winning streak in the league, their main goalkeeper Ter Stegen suffered a serious injury during the match, which means the German goalkeeper will be out for an extended period. After Ter Stegen’s injury, substitute goalkeeper Peña was called upon to step up, but his performance did not inspire confidence, making it seem urgent for Barcelona to bring in a new goalkeeper.
Due to restrictions imposed by transfer regulations, if Barcelona wants to sign a new goalkeeper immediately, they can only do so from the pool of free agent goalkeepers. Under such circumstances, the options available to Barcelona are clearly limited. In response, the Spanish media “AS” has published an article listing the free agent goalkeepers that Barcelona could sign immediately.
The top candidate is Costa Rican goalkeeper Keylor Navas. The 37-year-old Navas has been without a club since leaving Paris Saint-Germain last season. Although Navas played a crucial role in helping Real Madrid win three Champions League titles, four Club World Cup titles, three UEFA Super Cups, and one La Liga title during his peak years, it should be noted that he has been away from the “center stage” for quite some time and his age raises questions about his current form.
Next is former Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius. His career took a turn after committing errors in the Champions League final. In recent years, Karius has moved around several teams but has yet to prove himself again. Currently, Karius is also a free agent. Additionally, former Valladolid goalkeeper Masip has not found a new club since leaving his team. Besides these individuals, other free agent goalkeepers that Barcelona could sign immediately include former Mallorca goalkeeper Rico, former Albacete goalkeeper Vaclik, and former Elche goalkeeper Badia.
On September 26th, Barcelona will host Getafe in the seventh round of La Liga at their home ground.
