Ter Stegen is simply not part of Ajax's plans for the summer transfer window. Although the Dutch giants value the 34-year-old German's qualities, such as his experience, leadership and ability with the ball at his feet, the club are currently not considering a move for him. The veteran goalkeeper is on a significant salary at Barça, and that alone would pose a huge challenge for a club like Ajax. For now, though, despite the rumours, a move to Ajax does not appear to be on the table.
It's obviously an extremely tragic situation for Marc; it would have been his turn now. That something so dramatic would come from such a simple action as a normal pass. Looking at his history with the national team, it would have been his turn now.
Marc-Andre ter Stegen is facing a spell on the sidelines after suffering what appears to be a serious injury during Saturday's La Liga clash against Real Oviedo. There are fears the Barcelona goalkeeper, who has just moved on loan to Girona, has suffered a hamstring tear and may need to undergo surgery, according to Jijantes. Initial reports are suggesting that Ter Stegen could be out for two months and may even return to Barcelona if he does end up being sidelined for a long time.
The terms of Barcelona's agreement with Girona over the loan of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen do not seem to be favourable for the Blaugrana in any capacity. After all, they continue to pay him most of his wages while also allowing him to move out and gather much-needed minutes ahead of the FIFA World Cup - a situation many thought they would leverage to push for his exit.
The report explains that Ter Stegen has been working closely with the German Football Association, who have drawn up a personalised plan to make him Germany's starting goalkeeper at the next World Cup. This strategy does not require a full-time starting role in La Liga or the Champions League, but rather a carefully managed season focused on rhythm, fitness, and high-level competitive matches.
