FC Barcelona has a problem it must solve before the season begins. Hansi Flick has chosen to make a change in goal, closing the signing of Joan García and leaving Ter Stegen in a delicate position. The captain, who is 33 years old, has a contract until 2028 and earns one of the highest salaries on the squad. He has received approaches from clubs such as Galatasaray, Manchester United, and Monaco in recent days, but he has already decided where he will play next season.
Ter Stegen "stays" at Barça
Helena Condis, a journalist from "COPE", has released the decision Ter Stegen has made about his future. The German is clear about it: he doesn't plan to leave Barça. Despite reports suggesting otherwise, he has "no agreement" with anyone and is "ready" for the competition.
In this regard, the German "doesn't plan to terminate" his contract with FC Barcelona, making it clear that he wants to continue at Camp Nou. Ter Stegen feels capable of turning the current situation around, knowing that he is last in line right now. Joan, who just arrived, is now Flick's first-choice goalkeeper, while Szczesny, who will renew his contract in the coming days, will remain as a substitute.
Future in Barcelona
Marc-André ter Stegen is clear about it: he isn't leaving FC Barcelona. Even though the sporting management has shown him the door, he has decided to stay at the blaugrana club and fight to remain the starting goalkeeper. With a valid contract and as one of the captains in the locker room, Ter Stegen has no intention of leaving the project led by his compatriot Hansi Flick.
Barça is considering a major overhaul of its squad, and the emergence of Joan García as a possible starter has sparked debate over the goalkeeper position. However, the German international isn't giving up. He considers his experience, leadership, and commitment to be essential assets, which is why he doesn't plan to give up his spot.
Ter Stegen has turned down offers from major clubs such as Galatasaray, Manchester United, and Monaco, something Helena Condis has revealed, which offered him attractive conditions both in sporting and financial terms. At 33 years old, the goalkeeper believes he can still perform at the highest level at Camp Nou and leave an even greater legacy.
The decision has been made. Ter Stegen stays. He doesn't plan to take a step back...
