Barcelona are confident securing Marc-Andre ter Stegen to a new deal next week.

Sport says the negotiations have been tough, according to sources at the club, because the demands were high, but things are now nearing an end.

Barça president Josep Maria Bartomeu wants the issue sorted before his mandate ends. He feels the German goalkeeper is key to the club's future. The agreement will be until 2025 but the final details still need to be sorted.

Ter Stegen has always wanted to continue at Barça and his priority was to renew.

However, he made it clear he wanted to be one of the best paid players at the club. He feels his contribution in terms of minutes and performances merits that.
