Barcelona's new contract talks remain at deadlock with goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Sport says negotiations with Ter Stegen to try and renew his deal have stalled.

In recent days they met online with his agent, Gerd Vom Bruch, but economically the two sides are far apart.

Ter Stegen wants double his current salary, as an essential member of the team, and Barca know they will have to come up with some good numbers to try and get him to sign with various other clubs interested.

Barca and his agents have met five times at least to discuss his new deal. The situation is delicate at Barcelona, financially, and they are at their salary limit.

The contract will not be applied retroactively, which is to say that if he signs a new deal it will be from the next salary year. Both sides agree on that at least.
