The one chosen by Deco for FC Barcelona's goalkeeping position

FC Barcelona has activated its machinery to strengthen one of the most delicate positions on the team: the goal. With the need to plan for the future and considering the doubts raised by Marc-André ter Stegen's performance after his injury, the sports management has set its sights on Lucas Chevalier, the current goalkeeper for Lille and one of the most promising talents in European football in that position.

The Catalan club, aware that the time of the German goalkeeper could be nearing its end, has begun to make moves to ensure a reliable replacement. Although Ter Stegen has regained his place between the posts after his long absence, there is concern within the coaching staff and the board about his medium-term reliability. Additionally, Wojciech Szczęsny, signed as a temporary solution, is not considered a long-term option.

Lucas Chevalier, FC Barcelona's new desire

Chevalier, at just 23 years old, has burst onto the scene in Ligue 1, delivering performances and stats that have attracted the attention of several top European clubs. At Barça, they see him as the ideal candidate: young, with character, capable of taking on responsibilities from day one, and also of developing under Ter Stegen's guidance.

However, Barça is not alone in the race. Real Madrid has also shown interest in him as part of their plans for Courtois' successor, prompting Barça to act swiftly to avoid a bidding war for his signature. Meanwhile, the future of Iñaki Peña remains uncertain, and indications are that the club will rely on the youth academy to complement the rotation. Once again, the goal at Camp Nou is undergoing transformation.
