Liverpool target Ter Stegen to tell Barcelona he does not want to be no.2

Spanish football expert Guillem Balague has revealed that Liverpool target Marc-Andre Ter Stegen wants to have talks with the club regarding his future at Barcelona.

Ter Stegen has featured regularly for Barcelona in the Copa Del Rey and Champions League this season but the German international remains second choice goalkeeper to Claudio Bravo in La Liga.

As a result, the 23-year-old is said to be very unhappy at his current situation at Barcelona and now according to Balague, the Liverpool target is set to have a meeting with the club hierarchy regarding his long-term future at the Camp Nou.

Balague told Sky Sports: "Ter Stegen wants to speak to the club at the end of the season and say to them: 'I'm not happy with this situation. I don't want to be No 2.'

"It is an interesting position that Luis Enrique finds himself in because he thinks Ter Stegen will become a better player - but the goalkeeper that guarantees him consistency is Claudio Bravo.

"A decision will have to be made by Enrique before Barcelona think of selling anyone."
