"It was Besiktas, who had reportedly tabled a loan deal with an €8 million buy option, thus giving Ter Stegen the opportunity to move out of Catalonia amid fears that Oliver Baumann may take his role in the German national team. However, those rumours have been squashed by Mundo Deportivo journalist Roger Torello, who maintains that Barcelona have not received any offer for Ter Stegen."
"Ter Stegen, meanwhile, faces a daunting challenge of finding a new club sooner rather than later, as he looks to secure his role as the Germany's number one, ahead of Baumann. Baumann has been impressing lately with his performances for the national team, notably keeping clean sheets in all of his last four matches. His performances have helped Germany seal a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup."
Besiktas had been linked to a loan deal with an €8 million buy option, potentially enabling Marc-Andre ter Stegen to leave Catalonia amid fears Oliver Baumann could take his role in the Germany national team. Barcelona have not received any offer for Ter Stegen. Barcelona are waiting for Ter Stegen to regain full fitness; once fit and able to start matches, clubs are expected to approach him during the January transfer window. Joan Garcia remains Barcelona's first-choice goalkeeper, with Wojciech Szczesny as alternative. Ter Stegen must secure regular playing time to protect his Germany number one spot, as Baumann's recent clean sheets strengthened his World Cup candidacy.
