Marc-Andre ter Stegen has signed a new contract at Barcelona which commits himself to the Catalans until 2022. The club released an official statement on the deal saying: 'FC Barcelona announces that it has entered into an agreement with Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the renewal of his contract until 30 June 2022.'His buyout clause is set at ?180million. The new contract will be signed on May 30 at 13:30 at the offices of the club.' The German was named the club's first-choice goalkeeper at the start of this season after Claudio Bravo was sold to Manchester City in August.
Ter Stegen was previously the No 1 for Champions League and Copa del Rey matches in his two previous seasons but following Bravo's move to the Premier League he took over as the club's starter in La Liga.
Though ter Stegen began most Champions League and La Liga matches in 2016-17, fellow stopper Jasper Cillessen was the club's starter throughout the victorious Copa del Rey campaign.
Cillessen, who joined from Ajax at the start of the season, was in goal for Barcelona as they won the Copa del Rey final 3-1 against Alaves on Saturday - ter Stegen was an unused substitute.
Lionel Messi, Neymar and Paco Alcacer goals were enough to ensure victory in outgoing manager Luis Enrique's final match in charge.
Ter Stegen follows Neymar, Luis Suarez and Ivan Rakitic in recently signing contract extensions at the Nou Camp.
