Barcelona out-of-favour veteran ready to give green light to loan exit - report | Barca Universal
"In a major development, SPORT now reports that Ter Stegen is willing to give his approval to a potential move to Girona and would look favourably on playing at Montilivi. The 33-year-old Barça captain has a very clear priority: to compete, accumulate minutes and remain in the national team picture with the World Cup in mind. However, the veteran star is not prepared to force the situation or leave Barcelona at any cost."
"At present, Girona can only cover a very small percentage of his wages, which Barcelona consider less than ideal to allow him to leave. From Barça's point of view, the move makes sporting sense because, although Hansi Flick can give him occasional minutes, the overall scenario has not changed. However, the Blaugrana demand that Girona assume around 20-25% of the goalkeeper's salary."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has returned from back surgery but sits behind Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny in Barcelona's pecking order, jeopardizing his playing time and World Cup prospects with Germany. Girona have shown strong interest in a loan until the end of the season, and Ter Stegen is willing to accept a move to Montilivi to accumulate minutes and remain in the national-team picture. The goalkeeper will not waive or reduce his salary this season, creating a financial obstacle. Barcelona demand that Girona cover roughly 20–25% of his wages, a contribution Girona currently cannot meet, prompting Ter Stegen to urge Girona to find a solution.
