5 players Barcelona got on a bargain under Bartomeu

Copa Del Rey 2017-18 - FC Barcelona vs Valencia CF
The club has concentrated upon their squad depth in the last two transfer windows.

#5: Marc-Andre ter Stegen (12 million Euros)

FC Barcelona v AS Roma - UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Leg One
The Neuer replacement Germany didn't expect.

The German was left in tears when he had to bid adieu to his boyhood club Borussia Mönchengladbach but little did he knew about the near-legendary status he would attain in Spain. Definitely spoiled with goalkeeping choices, Barcelona has the luxury of not one, but two world-class goalkeepers in the shape of Cillessen and ter Stegen.

Originally a backup to Claudio Bravo, Stegen started his Barcelona career by featuring in the Champions League and leading the team to treble glory under Luis Enrique. After Bravo's move to Manchester City, Stegen was picked up as the number one keeper ahead of new signing Jasper Cillessen, who came in with way more experience than the German.

ter Stegen's popularity and value has increased exponentially in the last two years. The German has established himself strongly among the 'Top 5 Goalkeepers' club. Excellent on his feet and brilliant between the goal, Stegen is expected to lead his national side in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in case Manuel Neuer fails to recover in time, and when a keeper is set to replace someone like Neuer, it is understandable that he is something extraordinary. The starlet has already represent Die Mannschaft in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup, which they won.
