"According to information shared by Nil Sola, Girona will assume only a very small fraction of the goalkeeper's wages during his temporary stay, with the overwhelming majority being covered by Barcelona. As previously reported, Ter Stegen did not travel with the rest of the Barça squad to Prague for the Champions League fixture against Slavia Praha. The German has been granted full permission by the club to remain in Spain in order to finalise the remaining procedures linked to his loan move to Girona, which will run until the end of the season."
"Initial reports suggested that Girona would take on a small portion of Ter Stegen's salary, with figures circulating close to, but still below, €1 million. However, Nil Sola's update narrows that number even further. According to his information, Girona will pay around €500,000 of the goalkeeper's wages, while Barcelona will cover the remaining amount. In practical terms, this means Bar&ccil;a will shoulder roughly 90% of Ter Stegen's salary until the end of June."
"From Girona's perspective, the deal is close to ideal, as the financial outlay is comparable to what the club was paying Dominik Livakovic, yet they now gain a goalkeeper with vastly more experience at the elite level. For Barcelona, the move is less about finances and more about managing a complex sporting situation. This is because Ter Stegen still has two years remaining on his contract, which runs until 2028. On a personal level, Ter Stegen was hoping to accumulate enough minutes at Barcelona to convince Julian Nagelsmann to restore him as Germany's first-choice goalkeeper"
Marc-Andre ter Stegen will move to Girona on loan until the end of the season. Girona will assume only a small fraction of the goalkeeper's wages, paying around €500,000, while Barcelona will cover the remaining amount. The agreement between the two clubs has effectively been in place since yesterday and final documentation exchanges have been ongoing to make the deal official. Ter Stegen did not travel with Barcelona to Prague and has permission to stay in Spain to finalise the loan procedures. Girona obtain an experienced elite-level goalkeeper at a cost similar to Dominik Livakovic. Ter Stegen still has two years on his contract until 2028 and sought playing time to regain Germany's first-choice spot.
