Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly interested in an experienced star who has won the La Liga title on six occasions, and the Lilywhites have heard good news about his potential availability in January.
Guglielmo Vicario’s performances have come under the scanner over recent weeks, and some Spurs fans have even called for the club’s number one to be dropped.
Amidst this criticism of Vicario, it emerged a couple of days ago that Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for one of the most decorated goalkeepers of the last decade.
Reports from Spain claimed that Tottenham are ready to battle Man United for Barcelona star Marc-Andre ter Stegen in the upcoming transfer window, and a new report has now provided an interesting update about the German’s situation at Camp Nou.
Barcelona are trying to force out Marc-Andre ter Stegen amidst Tottenham interest
A new report from Sport (as relayed by Sport Witness) also asserts that Ter Stegen is on the radar of the Red Devils and the Lilywhites, and suggests that he faces an uncertain future at Barca.
The experienced goalkeeper is currently recovering from an injury after having back surgery in July, and he is expected to return to action in January.
The 33-year-old’s priority is to remain at Camp Nou, but it is suggested that Barca are keen to get rid of him after the two Premier League clubs expressed interest.

In fact, it is asserted that there is annoyance at the La Liga club that Ter Stegen’s injury scuppered a summer transfer, with the club now keen to get him off their books.
Ter Stegen is also facing external pressure to leave Barcelona
Sport say that in addition to Barca wanting a January sale, there is also external pressure on the former Borussia Monchengladbach to leave the club during the upcoming transfer window.
Germany boss Julian Nagelsmann is said to be pushing Ter Stegen to leave the Catalan club and move to a side where he can play regularly during the second half of the season.
While the 33-year-old is expected to start for Germany between the sticks at next summer’s World Cup, Nagelsmann wants him to have consistent game time before the tournament.
The experienced goalkeeper thus faces a big decision over the coming weeks, as apart from the two English sides, some unnamed Bundesliga clubs are also willing to make him their number one.
