Barcelona have reportedly reached a preliminarily agreement to sign Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen.

Speculation has gathered pace in recent weeks with Barca preparing to replace current number one Victor Valdes at the end of the season.

A number of goalkeepers have been linked with the position, but according to Bild, a decision has been made on the signing of Ter Stegen.

It is believed the 21-year-old, who will cost in the region of £8m, will pen a four-year contract with the Spanish champions.
