"With Joan Garcia firmly established as the starting goalkeeper and Wojciech Szczesny available to provide cover, Ter Stegen is unlikely to get many minutes on the pitch, a situation which will affect his chances of making Germany's World Cup squad. As such, talks of a potential loan move have been gaining weight, even though the veteran shot-stopper remains reluctant to leave."
"Despite that, Barcelona's local rivals Girona have emerged as potential suitors for Ter Stegen and are prepared to go all out to secure his services. Now, Girona coach Michel, who received the jury award at the Catalan Football Federation gala earlier today, has broken his silence on the team's interest in the Barcelona goalkeeper. "He is a top player, everyone would like to have a player like that," he stated, as quoted by SPORT."
Marc-André ter Stegen faces increasing transfer speculation ahead of the January window after returning from back surgery. The 33-year-old club captain recently resumed playing following a lengthy layoff. Joan Garcia is firmly established as Barcelona's starting goalkeeper, with Wojciech Szczesny available as cover, limiting Ter Stegen's playing opportunities and jeopardising his chances of making Germany's World Cup squad. Talks of a potential loan move have grown despite Ter Stegen's reluctance to leave. Girona have emerged as interested suitors and coach Michel praised Ter Stegen, but Girona would need Barcelona to cover a large portion of his salary, complicating any deal.
