"We know Ter Stegen's a top player, he's played at a high level for club and country. Obviously, there's been a bit of unrest between him and Barcelona over the summer when they needed to put him on the long-term medical list to free up space for their wages to register their new signings like Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford. It's obviously seen that Garcia is the long-term number one now at Barcelona, so Ter Stegen's opportunities are going to be limited, I think,"
"But, I think it's a deal that will be very unlikely to happen in the January window. It'll be interesting to see what happens in the summer if Ter Stegen continues to find himself out of favour at Barcelona. I'm sure Barcelona would prefer to probably sell him rather than potentially loan him, just to help with their financial situation and obviously get his wages off the wage list at the club."
Manchester United and Tottenham have both identified similar goalkeeper targets, including Barcelona stopper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen. Ter Stegen was Barcelona's regular number one for much of the past decade but now sits third in Hansi Flick's pecking order. Ter Stegen needs regular football to retain Germany's starting role for the World Cup next summer. Sources indicate a January move is unlikely. Barcelona previously placed him on a long-term medical list to free wages for new signings like Joan Garcia and Marcus Rashford, and Barcelona may prefer a summer sale to remove his wages from the books.
