According to reports from Sky Sports, Barcelona could be set for a major shake-up in their goalkeeping department, with long-serving shot-stopper Marc-André ter Stegen potentially leaving the club in the upcoming January transfer window.
The German international, who has been a cornerstone of Barcelona’s success since joining from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2014, is reportedly considering his future after finding his role under Hansi Flick uncertain. Sources suggest that both a loan or permanent move is on the table, depending on offers and Barcelona’s financial stance.
This development comes after new manager Hansi Flick brought in promising Spanish goalkeeper Joan García during the summer. García, known for his impressive reflexes and composure with the ball at his feet, has quickly earned Flick’s trust. Additionally, the presence of Wojciech Szczęsny, who joined to provide experienced cover, has made the competition for the starting spot even fiercer.
While ter Stegen remains one of the best goalkeepers in Europe, recent injuries and inconsistent form have raised questions about his long-term place in Flick’s plans. Barcelona are reportedly open to listening to offers that could help them ease their ongoing financial constraints.
