"Marc-Andre ter Stegen's situation at Barcelona is becoming one of the most closely watched subplots of the season. This is because a recent update from Fernando Pollo in Mundo Deportivo has revealed that the likes of Girona and Aston Villa are actively monitoring the German goalkeeper's status. On paper, Ter Stegen's future should be settled. He remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028 and is one of the most experienced figures in the squad."
"As a result, Ter Stegen faces a defining decision. One option is to look for a move, even a temporary one, that guarantees him a starting role for the remainder of the season. The other is to stay at Barcelona under Flick's management, fully aware that he is no longer the undisputed number one. Meanwhile, interest from other clubs has not faded."
"In recent weeks, several teams have discreetly checked on his physical condition, and one of those clubs is Aston Villa. While Villa currently rely on Emiliano Martinez, he has recently struggled with back issues that have forced him to miss games. Girona are another club keeping a close eye on developments. They face uncertainty in goal, with Dominik Livakovic expected to leave Montilivi in the upcoming winter window."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028 but has lost his starting role to Joan Garcia. The reduced playing time threatens his chances of regaining the Germany starting position under Julian Nagelsmann ahead of the next World Cup. Ter Stegen faces a choice: pursue a move—potentially temporary—to secure regular minutes for the rest of the season, or stay at Barcelona under coach Flick while accepting a backup role. Several clubs, including Aston Villa and Girona, have monitored his condition and interest persists due to injuries and potential departures affecting rival goalkeepers.
