Barcelona sporting director Andoni Zubizarreta has admitted that they already have a successor in place for departing goalkeeper Victor Valdes.
Valdes will call time on his 19-year Camp Nou career when his contract expires in the summer and has been linked with a move to Manchester City among others.
Borussia Monchengladbach's Marc-Andre ter Stegen is believed to be the replacement that Barca have in mind and while Zubizarreta did not mention any names, he confessed that a deal with someone has practically been struck.
"I already know the name of the goalkeeper who is going to replace Valdes and he's practically already signed," he told Catalunya Radio.
"We just have to give it a little more time, before we make the announcement."
Liverpool's on-loan Napoli shot-stopper Pepe Reina has also been linked with Barcelona.
