Barcelona scramble to secure Chelsea target Ter Stegen to new deal

Barcelona are looking to tie goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen to a new contract amid interest from Chelsea and Bayern Munich.

Negotiations were put off during the coronavirus pandemic, but Barca want to reignite those talks.

And the London Evening Standardsays ter Stegen is keen to extend his stay at the club.

However, that could rest on the German being given a significant pay-rise on his €5m annual salary.

Barca chief Josep Maria Bartomeu has admitted recently that the club's finances will be tighter due to COVID-19.

This could open a door for Chelsea, who want to replace Kepa Arrizabalaga in goals.

Bayern would see the 28-year-old as a successor for Manuel Neuer.
