Barcelona could target Lille’s Lucas Chevalier amid the summer turmoil

According to a report from SportFC Barcelona have taken steps to obtain more information about Lille OSC’s Lucas Chevalier (22) as they consider signing an elite goalkeeper this summer.

The injury of Marc-André ter Stegen (32) and the reported doubts about the fitness of Iñaki Peña Sotorres (25) led the club to bring in Wojciech Szczęsny (34) as a stopgap solution until the end of the season. However, concerns remain about the long-term future of the role.

Barcelona are reportedly not yet fully committed to buying a new goalkeeper and the club will have to consider their finances before attempting to sign a talent whose price will only increase with each excellent performance he puts in during the Champions League exit in Lille.
