At 33 years old, Ter Stegen didn't expect to have to leave Barça, but the decision has been made. There is anger within the culer club over his attitude in recent months, once he recovered from his injury. Hansi Flick hasn't liked it at all and has chosen to look for another goalkeeper, starting a generational change that, sooner or later, had to come to the blaugrana goal.
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Ter Stegen already has the clarity he was so looking for regarding his future. In a meeting, Deco has already told him that if he wants to stay at FC Barcelona, he will have to accept the role of third goalkeeper. No one is kicking him out, but in a World Cup year, he isn't even the first or second option. He dreams of being a starter with Germany and knows it will be very difficult if he stays at Barça.
Ter Stegen, 2 offers to leave Barça
It hasn't gone unnoticed across Europe that a goalkeeper of the German's caliber could leave FC Barcelona for a bargain price. He will be given every opportunity to leave if he wants to, with the possibility of negotiating a contract termination while receiving his full salary for the upcoming season.
Although Milan would have been interested if Maignan ends up leaving, it seems there are 2 other options on the table with a better chance of signing him.
From Türkiye, "Fotomac" has revealed that Galatasaray has shown interest in Ter Stegen's situation. The German has become their first choice for the goal, now that Muslera's departure has already been announced.
Galatasaray isn't the only club that wants him. From Great Britain, "TEAMtalk" has reported that Manchester United are also considering signing him. Amorim doesn't want to keep relying on Onana and the possibility of bringing in Ter Stegen seems very appealing at Old Trafford, especially if it's for a bargain price.
Barça will make things easy for Ter Stegen
Madrid-Barcelona has learned that Barça's plan isn't to set any requirements for Ter Stegen's departure. The only one is that he doesn't strengthen a direct rival from Spain, but considering that both Madrid and Atlético have great goalkeepers, it won't even be necessary to do so.
No transfer fee will be requested: the main goal with Ter Stegen is to get rid of a problem and his entire salary. By clearing his salary from the wage bill, players like Joan García can be registered without any issues.
