Barcelona will hold an election to choose who between Ivan Rakitic and goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen will become the club’s fourth goalkeeper.
Leo Messi will take up the captain’s armband and step into the first spot after the departure of Andres Iniesta who joined Japanese side Vissel Kobe at the end of last season. Busquets and Pique will move into second and third, but the fourth position is yet to be decided.
According to newspaper ‘AS’, the title was designated for Ivan Rakitic but goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has put himself forward as a candidate for the vacancy.
The only way to resolve the situation is through an election. Therefore once the international break is over, the ‘Azulgrana’ will vote to elect their chosen candidate after the world cup.
