Marc-Andre Ter Stegen has been first-choice goalkeeper at Barcelona for a decade, but that is expected to change from next season onwards. The Germany international has generated doubts in recent years, and having missed the vast majority of the 2024-25 campaign due to injury, it now appears that he will be replaced.
Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia is being pursued by Barcelona, who are hopeful of completing a deal in the coming weeks. And the expectation is that he will replace Ter Stegen in between the goalposts, with Wojciech Szczesny to act as backup upon signing a new deal.
Despite this, Ter Stegen has no plans to leave Barcelona, and his plan is to continue as the club’s starting goalkeeper for another season. But things could change now that an insight in Hansi Flick’s thinking has been revealed.
According to MD, Flick’s coaching staff see Garcia as the starting goalkeeper if he joins Espanyol this summer. Barcelona’s commitment to the 24-year-old is strong, with the technical staff sharing the same view as the board and the sporting management in that he will be first-choice ‘keeper from next season onwards.
Because of this, it is seen as very difficult for Ter Stegen to play if he stays at Barcelona next season. And the view of the first team coaching staff is that the 33-year-old should leave if he is to play regular football ahead of next summer’s World Cup, foe which he is projected to be Germany’s starter – but that would only be the case if he is playing.
It certainly feels more and more likely that Ter Stegen’s time at Barcelona will be coming to an end this summer. And it is the right time, considering that he has dropped off. The club will be desperate for him to go, so that they can save his lucrative salary – and in the process, ease their financial woes.

Ngl Ter Stegen is kinda washed and not in shape to give us the quality we need. It’s safe to let go while we can else we might end up punishing our defenders next season due to poor goalkeeper. We all saw the few games Mac played in last season, c’mon, it wasn’t entertaining

Barcelona don't treat outside players well at all if you're not from Spain or la masia they won't treat you well they're doing the same thing to frank de Jong too because they are on big wages who give them the offer is it not the club you're destroying player's carry too much even Raphinha compline about this before sining a new deal 😉
Keep quiet, who keep 33 yrs old keeper when you have opportunity to sign a good keeper of 24? also if is your business do you run it to make profit or doing things that put you in tight Conner. those bunch of former foolish management gave them those contracts that put Barcelona in this financial mess.

Barcelona is letting him go because of money 💰 you can't tell us mac is not a good goalkeeper you can't blame a player who just come back from injury for poor performance that's not the reason you want to free up space for another players to come you don't have money in a professional away his is not how to treat a player

FC BARCELONA should purchase the services of Joan Garcia already and make him the undisputed No. 1 choice goalkeeper for next season and sell Marc-Andre Ter Stegen as soon as possible 🙏 We FC BARCELONA fans thank Ter Stegen for his services thus far but nothing lasts forever 🙏

Messi spoke of ter stegen as trash at the back Barcelona fans were saying he's the best goalie in the world now he's exposed by hansi flick. This guy and araujo plays for betting companies and rivals not Barcelona. So getting a pure Spanish goalie is much better for trust
