"There is no doubt about Marc-André Ter Stegen's future with FC Barcelona. At least, from the German goalkeeper's point of view. With a contract in force until 2028 after the renewal signed in August 2023, Barça's still first captain maintains his position after recovering from surgery this summer to solve his recurring lumbar problems and challenging the club - which he lost - with the pace of his recovery."
"The German wants to continue, even though Flick was clear in pointing out Joan Garcia as his number one, something that will not change unless there is a catastrophic decline in his performance, which is difficult to imagine given his current form. His confident statements, despite sparking debate about the German's future with the transfer market just around the corner, do not alter MATS' plans. Ter Stegen wants to stay at Barça and fight for minutes."
Ter Stegen remains under contract with FC Barcelona until 2028 following his August 2023 renewal. He recovered from summer surgery addressing recurring lumbar problems and sought a faster recovery pace in disagreement with the club. Manager Hansi Flick publicly highlighted Joan Garcia as the current number one, but a significant decline in Ter Stegen's performances would be required to change that. Ter Stegen intends to continue at Barça and compete for minutes. The goalkeeper requires high-quality matches to preserve his chances as Germany's potential World Cup starter. He believes the situation at Can Barça is not as closed as Flick's words suggest.
