Ter Stegen not Barcelona bound, says agent

14 February 2013 13:31

Marc-Andre ter Stegen's agent Gerd vom Bruch has denied the Borussia Moenchengladbach goalkeeper is on his way to Barcelona.

A report in Marca suggested the 20-year-old had reached a pre-agreement with the Blaugrana over a four-year deal, but his representative has insisted there is no truth in the rumours linking Ter Stegen with a summer move to the Camp Nou side.

"This is utter nonsense," vom Bruch told Sport-Informations-Dienst.

Monchengladbach sporting director Max Eberl, meanwhile, has also dismissed the report.

"We will not comment on every nonsense report that's being written," Eberl told Spiegel.

Barcelona are in the market for a new goalkeeper with the imminent departure of Victor Valdes, who recently said that he will not renew his deal which was set to expire in 2014.

Ter Stegen is regarded as one of Europe's biggest goalkeeping talents, and has a contract with Gladbach until 2015.
