TER Stegen is undoubtedly a legend of “Duma of Catalonia”, in which he has been appearing since 2014. At that time he played 422 matches and won 19 trophies with the club. Although it is worth noting that this year's triumph in the King Cup and competitions Laliga He had a negligible influence. In September 2024 he suffered an injury, after which he returned to the game only at the end of the season. At his absence, Wojciech Szczęsny glistened in the goal. In turn, after the competition 2024/2025, the club wants to bring Joan Garcia from Espanyol, who transfer For 25 million euros it is almost certain.
Ter Stegen will not let go. “He has a contract and does not intend to give it up”
Such movements of the club did not appeal to Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, who felt almost betrayed and left alone after leaving the severe injury. Although he is the most distinguished player in frame Hansi Flick, this club almost pushes him out of Catalonia. The reason for such activities is the disposition of a German, which after the aforementioned injury is in question, as well as his contract, which is one of the highest in the team.
The Catalan “Sport” describes the course of recent events: “Goalie He traveled by private plane from Stuttgart after the match Germany – France and there is no doubt that he did not intend to leave the club.[…] The German is very bad for the whole situation and does not intend to leave “Blaugrana”. He does not understand what is going on and can go to war because of the contract he signed until 2028. The peak meeting is approaching and it looks like it will be hot. “
How will the meeting go? Both sides have their arguments
According to the information contained in the article by L. Migulesanza, it is at the said meeting at the summit, decisions are to be made regarding the future of Ter Stegen. It is to take place between the goalkeeper and Deco, who is the director of the club's sports.
“Today Ter Stegen is ready for war. He feels sporty and ready to fight for a place in the initial composition of Barça, if Hansi Flick he will allow him. Most importantly: he has a contract until 2028, signed after extending agreed with the current management board and does not intend to give up ” – writes” Sport “.
The problem of Ter Stegen is that in the case of bringing to the Garcia club, the Spaniard will take the place of the team's basic goalkeeper. In turn, he could not even count on the position of a reserve goalkeeper, because this place is to be taken by Szczęsny. With this arrangement, the 33-year-old could not even count on occasional performances in the king's cup. And regular appearance on the pitch is important to him in the context of next year's world championships. When after Euro 2024 Manuel Neuer ended his representative career, finally Barcelona's goalkeeper has a chance to be “one” in the German team and fight for the World Cup. However, for this to happen, he must play in the club.
“German can decide on a castle in the goal in accordance with his current decision or negotiate. And Barça in the negotiations will be strong. They are ready not only to give him a free choice about finding another club, but also to pay an annual contract as compensation, if he waives the next two years. They will throw away, paying the whole contract, just like Barça did it with the basketball player Nikola Mirotic [w 2023 roku – dop. red.]” – says” Sport “.
