Barcelona are currently in talks with Marc-Andre ter Stegen to renew the German's contract. However, according to 'ESPN', there are two club who are doing what they can to stop that from happening. Chelsea and Inter want the keeper.

Ter Stegen is a Barcelona player until at least 2022. The club are working on extending his contract until 2025, three years more than now. 

However, 'ESPN' reports that Chelsea and Inter do not want him to sign the new contract. Both clubs are reportedly very interested in getting him themselves. 

Both Chelsea and Inter understand that it is very difficult to think he will leave Barca. In any case, they have shown their interest in the goalkeeper and they are waiting patiently to see what could happen. 

At Chelsea, Lampard has lost confidence in Kepa and they are looking to replace him. Cech, the manager's right hand man, is apparently trying to persuade the board to try and sign Ter Stegen. 

Inter are looking for a substitute for Handanovic. 'ESPN' says that the club have even contacted Ter Stegen to ask him whether he would be willing to move to Inter.
