Girona have emerged as surprise contenders to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen on loan during the upcoming January transfer window, according to reports shared by transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The La Liga side have confirmed their interest in the German international, with manager Míchel openly admitting his admiration for the world-class shot-stopper.
Ter Stegen, one of the most consistent goalkeepers in European football over the past decade, is reportedly attracting interest from three clubs, with Girona firmly in the race. While the 32-year-old remains a key figure at Barcelona, the potential move is being discussed as a loan deal rather than a permanent transfer, largely due to financial and regulatory considerations.
Speaking about the situation, Girona boss Míchel did not hide his excitement at the prospect of working with the Barcelona No.1. “I’d love to have ter Stegen with us. He’s a world-class goalkeeper, of course,” the manager said, highlighting the club’s ambition to strengthen their squad for the second half of the season.
