"Now, according to Fanatik (h/t SPORT), Besiktas consider Ter Stegen their main target to address the team's sporting crisis. They require a new goalkeeper due to the poor performance of veteran Mert Gunok, and the Turkish club view the German as the most reliable option both now and in the future. To that end, Besiktas have submitted a loan proposal that includes full coverage of the goalkeeper's salary and a non-mandatory purchase option of around €8 million in June."
"Ter Stegen has not made any move yet. His immediate aim is to return fully to first-team training and receive medical clearance, something expected around mid-December. His priority has been recovery, and once that is complete, he will consider his future. Barcelona are willing to let him leave in January if he wishes to do so, but no progress has been made, as the club expect more offers to arrive in the coming weeks."
"The 33-year-old goalkeeper, currently recovering from an injury, is no longer the first-choice starter at the club, with Joan Garcia claiming that spot, while Wojciech Szczesny is now the backup to the summer signing. Given Ter Stegen's aspirations of being Germany's No. 1 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, he will need to play regularly, leading to talks of a January exit."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen has lost the first-choice goalkeeper spot while recovering from injury and now faces transfer speculation ahead of January. Besiktas have identified him as their primary target, submitting a loan offer covering his salary with a non-mandatory €8 million purchase option for June. Besiktas sporting director Eduard Graf is actively involved to help secure regular playing time and Europa League involvement. Ter Stegen aims to return to first-team training and obtain medical clearance around mid-December before deciding his future. Barcelona are open to a January departure but expect more offers to emerge.
