"Germany sporting director Rudi Voller has made it clear once again that the stopper needs to be playing regularly before this summer's tournament in North America, Mexico and Canada. "Ter Stegen has to play. Especially after his injury, and given his injury history, he needs to get match fitness to regain his form. Regardless of his quality," Völler told Sport1."
"Ter Stegen is believed to be open to a transfer to Girona on loan, but any more to Michel's side is difficult as they can't afford to pay his whole salary. Barcelona could help the move go through by agreeing to pay some of Ter Stegen's salary, but it's not yet clear if the Catalans are willing to do such a deal."
Marc-Andre ter Stegen faces pressure to play regular club football to secure selection and form ahead of World Cup 2026. Germany sporting director Rudi Völler emphasized that ter Stegen needs match fitness after injury and considering his injury history. A loan to Girona is under consideration, but Girona cannot afford his full salary. Barcelona can facilitate the move by subsidizing part of his wages, but the club's willingness remains uncertain. Consistent minutes and fitness are presented as essential for ter Stegen to regain form and justify selection for the summer tournament.
