Chelsea make ambitious play for Barcelona keeper Ter Stegen

Chelsea are making a play for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

The Blues are on the lookout for a new no.1 with Frank Lampard ready to replace the unconvincing Kepa Arrizabalaga this summer.

Ter Stegen is under contract at the Nou Camp until 2022 and is currently in line for discussions over a new deal.

However, the 28-year-old has been told he must accept a wage cut given the current circumstances, which has left him pondering the possibility of a move elsewhere.

Cadena Ser reports that ter Stegen has been approached by both Chelsea and Bayern Munich about a potential transfer.

He is still expected to commit his future to Barcelona, but in light of the recent problems at the club, Chelsea are hoping to muscle in on a deal to take him to London.
