Claudio Bravo has offered to come out of retirement follow Marc Andre Ter Stegen's freak knee injury
Former Barcelona and Manchester City goalkeeper Claudio Bravo has expressed his willingness to come out of retirement at the age of 41 to address Barcelona's urgent goalkeeping needs following Marc-Andre ter Stegen's serious knee injury.
Ter Stegen suffered a torn patellar tendon during Barcelona's emphatic 5-1 victory over Villarreal, leaving the club without their first-choice keeper for at least eight months.
The injury has sent shockwaves through the Camp Nou, prompting immediate discussions about potential replacements as the club seeks to navigate a challenging season ahead.
In light of this crisis, Bravo, who enjoyed a successful stint at Barcelona from 2014 to 2016, stated, "If Barcelona want me, I will be ready to come out of retirement."

Percy Tau makes bold promise to Al Ahly fans after tossing aside Gor Mahia amidst uncertainity over his future
Tau, who scored a brace during the first leg of Al Ahly's clash with Gor Mahia at the Nyayo National Stadium, scoring a brace, has sent a promise to the club's fans amidst uncertainty over his future with the Red Devils.
After leaving Barcelona, Bravo signed with Manchester City, where he faced challenges adapting to the Premier League style. However, he later found his footing at Real Betis, proving that he still has much to offer on the pitch.
While Barcelona deliberates on their options, including the potential for a free-agent signing or waiting until January, Bravo’s offer could be a tempting solution. His familiarity with the club’s culture and playing style might make for a smoother transition as they aim to maintain competitiveness in La Liga and Europe.
The club’s hierarchy is set to assess the situation closely, weighing Bravo’s experience against the risk of reintegrating a retired player into such a pivotal role. .
