Barcelona are reportedly keen on tying down goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to a new contract as soon as possible.
The 27-year-old's current deal with Quique Setien's side will expire in 2022, and the German has been linked with a switch to Chelsea as a replacement for Kepa Arrizabalaga in recent weeks.
However, according to Sport, Barca are confident that the keeper will remain at Camp Nou beyond next season and are hoping that ter Stegen will put pen to paper on a deal until 2024.
The report also claims that the German international's release clause is €180m (£156.9m), which is likely to ward off interest from other clubs, although the keeper is said to be happy at Barcelona and is totally committed to the Catalan giants.
Ter Stegen joined Barca from Borussia Monchengladbach in 2014 and has kept eight clean sheets in 26 appearances this season as Setien's side lead the way in La Liga.
