Barcelona faces goalkeeping surplus under Deco management plan

Barcelona must manage a surplus of goalkeepers this summer while Joan Garcia remains the undisputed starter for the upcoming campaign. Sporting director Deco faces a complex situation with the returns of Ter Stegen and Inaki Pena adding to an already crowded roster.

Garcia, who won the Zamora Trophy and was called up for the World Cup, has solidified his status under Hansi Flick. Meanwhile, veteran Wojciech Szczesny remains under contract until 2027.
