Manchester City are keen to test Barcelona's determination to keep their goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the decision to let Joe Hart go out on loan continues to haunt Pep Guardiola.
Guardiola chased 24-year-old ter Stegen all last summer before accepting Claudio Bravo from the Nou Camp as a consolation prize because he was desperate not to use Hart.
But with Barcelona needing to strengthen this summer and Lionel Messi's contract up for renewal, City are prepared to go back in and offer £30million for ter Stegen, who is in Germany's squad to face England in a friendly later this month.
