Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen signs new contract until 2028

Ter Stegen joined Barcelona from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2015, and has been the Blaugrana's first choice keeper since 2016. The German was one of the top shot-stoppers in Europe last season, and has been rewarded with a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2028, when he will be 36, the club confirmed.

Ter Stegen has agreed a deal that will see him defer a large chunk of his wages until later in his contract, according to ESPN. The contract includes a €500 million (£430m/$540m) release clause.

I am really happy to be here. I hope we can lift many trophies in these years, and of course I want to be at my top to achieve all this," Ter Stegen said.

Ter Stegen will line up in goal as Barcelona continue their La Liga campaign with a trip to Villarreal on Sunday.
