Marc-Andre ter Stegen finds himself locked in a tense standoff with Barcelona this summer, IsaGoal can report, as the club pushes to move him on despite his desire to stay.
The Catalan giants triggered Joan Garcia’s €25m release clause from Espanyol, signaling a clear intent to phase out their long-time goalkeeper.
Barcelona head coach Hansi Flick has reportedly informed Ter Stegen that he will start the 2025/26 season as third-choice behind Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny.
The 33-year-old, who missed much of last season with injury, is said to be furious with how the club has treated him throughout the summer.
He returned early for preseason training last week but has only been spotted working solo in the gym due to what Sport reports as a minor back issue.
Despite his contract running until 2028, Ter Stegen believes Barcelona are actively trying to push him out.
Reports in Turkey claim Galatasaray have offered to match and even exceed his €8m annual salary—on the condition he leaves for free.
Barcelona are open to letting him walk away without a fee, with Inter Milan and Manchester United also monitoring the situation closely.
AS Monaco were keen but have now shifted their focus to Trabzonspor’s Ugurcan Cakir, who is valued at €10m.
While Ter Stegen remains firm on staying, sources say his agents are open to interest and are tracking potential options quietly.
The only scenario that may prompt a move would be the risk of losing his starting spot for Germany ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
He’s reportedly more likely to consider a transfer in January if he isn’t playing regularly, rather than forcing a move this summer.
