Barcelona to sign Marc-Andre ter Stegen?

Barcelona are reportedly closing in on Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to replace Victor Valdes.

The Spaniards have been searching for a keeper since Valdes announced that he would be leaving the club when his contract expires in 2014.

Barca have been strongly linked with Liverpool's Pepe Reina, but are on the verge on signing Ter Stegen, according to Mundo Deportivo.

The 21-year-old German will sign for around €12m (£10m) but will remain with Monchengladbach on loan next season until Valdes's contract expires at Camp Nou.
