Ter Stegen hints at Barcelona switch

Reported Barcelona target Marc-Andre ter Stegen has hinted that he has already sealed a move to the Catalan giants.

The Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a switch to Camp Nou in recent months as a long-term replacement for Victor Valdes, who will leave the club this summer.

Ter Stegen, who rejected a contract extension back in January, is poised to leave the club on a bosman and has all but confirmed that Catalunya is his next destination.

"I've got a new club and I'm learning Spanish," he told German broadcaster ZDF.

"I can't say where I'll be going just yet. I'm going to a great, great team, a very special club that is one of the best in the world."

The 22-year-old, who has spent some 18 years with the Bundesliga outfit, broke down in tears following his final home appearance last weekend after the 3-1 win over Mainz.
