Barcelona is still desperately trying to find a tried and tested world-class goalkeeper capable of replacing Víctor Valdés, who has made it very clear that he is leaving the Catalan giants in June.
Zubizarreta's three-man shortlist is made of Courtois, Ter Stegen and Reina. Courtois is Sandro Rosell's preferred choice, but convincing Mourinho to let him go won't be easy, because although he is playing on-loan at Atlético de Madrid, he belongs to Chelsea and the Portuguese manager has already threatened him with the bench if he doesn't sign a new deal.
There has already been contact and an initial agreement with Ter Stegen, although a deal still needs to be reached with Borussia Mönchengladbach. Despite this, the German club sees him joining Barça. At least, that is what Borussia's manager appeared to be saying when asked about Ter Stegen’s future. "We hope that he stays with us, but when a club like Barcelona comes for you, well… We have to be realistic, but remain hopeful," said Lucien Favre, the German club’s coach.
Barça has announced that it doesn't plan to reveal which keeper it will move for in June until Valdés announces where he is going
