As the January window has just shut down, many clubs start to plan summer changes in their team’s squad. The boards will have to think over, if they need to strengthen a particular part of the game, invest in some promising players or splash the cash on a big-name signing.

FC Barcelona, current Liga BBVA leaders, will have to start looking for new season replacements, as their class players such as Xavi, Carles Puyol or Victor Valdes are closely running to the end of their careers.

Victor Valdes’s at Camp Nou was succesful, though he couldn’t get out of Iker Casillas’s shade- the Spanish number one.

Barcelona’s goalkeeper isn’t currently into an extension of his contract, though Sandro Rosell still leaves the doors open.

If Valdes will end his career at this point (his contract expires 30 June 2014) FC Barcelona should already be looking for a replacement in their goal.

Here are the best three replacement options, that have recently been rumoured with a move to Camp Nou.

David De Gea

Actually the number in Manchester United goal. After Van der Sar left the Old Trafford in 2011, the Spaniard is showing class in most of his English Premier League appearances.

Barcelona has reportedly offered £18million for De Gea’s return to Spain. David‘s comeback to his home would also fit in his private life, as his girlfriend, Edurne García Almagro currently lives in Madrid.

David de Gea, aged 23, could develop his promising career at one of the greatest football clubs, FC Barcelona.

Vicente Guaita

Valencia’s current goalkeeper, Vincente Guaita has brought lots of calls to the club’s office after his stunning performances in the last La Liga games. Guaita, according to Luis Milla, would fit in Barcelona’s game and become a top-class goalkeeper at Camp Nou. The board of the catalan club will have to be patient in the negotiations with Valencia, as Vincente’s buy-out clause equals £25,5 million.

Maarten Stekelenburg

After already flying to London to finish his deal with Fulham FC, Roma has declined the negotiations and upset Stekelenburg had to fly back to Italy. Now Barcelona can get use of this situation and buy the Dutch international. Though Maarten does not confirm any contact from the Spanish side, Barcelona’s chairman surely has his in his ‚agenda‘. If FCB fail to buy any of the players above, they will surely look forward to a move of this goalkeeper. The 31 year old would cost FC Barcelona around £6 million.

This are the most probable transfers to happen, but also goalkeepers such as Szczęsny or Neuer have been linked with a move to the Spanish side. What will happen? Time will show.
