Barcelona remain sold on Joan Garcia in goal, with the Spanish keeper being Hansi Flick's preferred choice. 

Former starting goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is recovering from back surgery well, and he is aiming to be back in November. 

His future remains unclear, though, with multiple clubs interested in the German keeper. 

Which clubs are interested in Ter Stegen?

According to SPORT, three Premier League clubs have inquired and are monitoring Ter Stegen's future. 

Newcastle, Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United have asked Barcelona about the keeper's availability for the January transfer window.

Ligue 1 side Monaco remain interested in Ter Stegen, despite failing to convince him of a move during the summer. 

A loan move would be the most likely to happen during the January window, but Ter Stegen would have to push for the move, with Barcelona wanting his approval. 

The keeper was adamant against a move this summer, believing that he could fight for his place in the squad. 

With the World Cup coming up, though, his best option might be to move away, especially if he were guaranteed playing time.
