Barcelona’s goalkeeper situation centers on Marc-André ter Stegen prioritizing recovery and availability, with coaching decisions determining his role and a January departure not ruled out. The club acknowledges that the signing of Joan provides both present options and future planning, meaning ter Stegen could remain a backup while fit players return. The immediate transfer strategy excludes winter arrivals, with emphasis placed on contract renewals to ensure long-term squad stability. The club expects performance to improve as injured players regain fitness and also considered topics such as the team’s recent win over Atletico and the possibility of Lionel Messi returning as a player.
