Marc-André ter Stegen’s future at Barcelona looks increasingly uncertain, IsaGoal can report.
Despite the arrival of Joan Garcia as his likely replacement, Ter Stegen has shown no signs of backing down from his position.
The 33-year-old is reportedly determined to stay and fight for the starting role, though he has softened slightly—only open to a move on his terms.
Barcelona have yet to officially inform him of their stance, but the signs are clear: they want to move on.
As reported by Mundo Deportivo, key figures in the club’s leadership want Ter Stegen stripped of the captain’s armband.
He is currently first captain, ahead of Frenkie de Jong, Ronald Araujo, and Raphinha. But with his status set to drop, that leadership role is now in question.
Hansi Flick will decide both the goalkeeper pecking order and the captaincy, and a reshuffle could send a strong message.
If Ter Stegen is removed as captain, Íñigo Martínez is expected to step into the leadership group.
That move would signal a major shift in the dressing room dynamic, and suggest Barcelona are preparing for life without the German international.
Ter Stegen’s high wages and diminished influence have become a concern for a club trying to cut costs and refresh the squad.
With the 2026 World Cup looming, he may be forced to reconsider staying if he risks becoming a benchwarmer.
All eyes are now on Flick’s pre-season decisions, which could reshape the next chapter of Ter Stegen’s career.
