FC Barcelona are preparing a move to sign Alex Remiro this summer as part of a major restructuring of their goalkeeping department.

The Spanish giants have identified the Real Sociedad shot stopper as their top target for the backup goalkeeper role, with strong internal reports highlighting his suitability for the position. The club believes Remiro’s profile makes him an ideal addition to provide depth and competition behind their current number one, Joan García.

Barcelona’s plans for the summer also include the potential departure of Marc-André ter Stegen, a move that would signal a significant shift in the squad. Meanwhile, the future of Wojciech Szczęsny remains uncertain and is expected to depend on whether Remiro completes a move to Camp Nou.

Remiro is currently under contract with Real Sociedad until June 2027, with a reported release clause of €15 million. However, Barcelona are optimistic about negotiating a deal for a fee below €5 million as they look to manage their financial structure carefully.

Should negotiations fail, Barcelona are prepared to adopt a long term approach by waiting until 2027 to sign the goalkeeper as a free agent.

The player himself is reportedly open to the move and willing to accept a backup role, a factor that could facilitate negotiations as Barcelona continue to reshape their squad ahead of the new season.

Barcelona’s pursuit of Remiro reflects a broader strategy to refresh key areas of the team while maintaining financial discipline, with the goalkeeping position now at the center of attention.
