Since the start of the season, Marc-André Ter Stegen is no longer the starter in goal for FC Barcelona. After many seasons of good and loyal service in the Catalan cages, the German goalkeeper has been downgraded since the arrival of Flick. After being injured for part of last season, the 33-year-old goalkeeper saw Joan Garcia, recruited this summer, take his starting place. The future of Marc-André Ter Stegen at FC Barcelona therefore remains uncertain despite the confidence displayed by the club publicly. Joan García is now considered the indisputable starter for the rest of the season, but the Catalan management fears that the German goalkeeper will stay until the summer if he does not find options that he likes for his future.
However, his captain’s intentions could be very different, and he could decide to look for a new challenge in the coming weeks. In this case, Barça would be ready to facilitate a transfer or a loan while covering part of his salary according to Marca. Unable to find his place again, the former M’Gladbach man wonders about his future. And according to Mundo Deportivoseveral courtiers are still interested in the German.
Aston Villa track Ter Stegen
Aston Villa are closely monitoring the situation of Marc-André Ter Stegen. The English club is considering Ter Stegen as a possible reinforcement to ensure a high-level starting goalkeeper. Faced with uncertainties linked to their Argentinian goalkeeper, who is regularly injured and who recently lost his captain’s armband, the Villans are looking at other profiles. Barça have confirmed that Ter Stegen is physically recovered after his lower back pain, which would make him a player available this winter.
Girona, faced with the probable departure of Livakovic, would also be interested according to information from the Catalan press. As you will have understood, the German’s future will depend on his choice between staying at Barça or looking for regular playing time elsewhere to keep his place in the German selection. One thing is certain, adding the Saudi and MLS flagship calls, as MD mentions, Ter Stegen has no shortage of courtiers for the rest of his career.
