Jordi Masip pays tribute to Victor Valdes

Barcelona goalkeeper Jordi Masip pays tribute to outgoing stopper Victor Valdes.

Barcelona goalkeeper Jordi Masip has paid tribute to outgoing stopper Victor Valdes.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen has already arrived at the Camp Nou as Valdes's replacement, with the Spanish international, who is currently on the sidelines with a knee injury, believed to be joining Monaco.

Masip, meanwhile, will step into the Barca first team next season as third choice, with the Catalan outfit still on the lookout for a stopper to provide competition for Ter Stegen.

"I am very proud to reach the first team and I really want to start work with the best players in the world, starting with pre-season," Masip told Marca.

"My reference is clear: Victor Valdes is the best goalkeeper, the most complete, and I hope he recovers soon.

"It will be hard to match what he has done here. It is the mirror through which I view myself."

Masip has been with Barcelona B since 2009.
