This week there has been a lot of speculation around the future of Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen. The La Liga champions are supposed to find out when signing Joan Garcia from Espanyol, and the idea is that he is the new first-choice goalkeeper of the club, who would leave behind in the cold.
On the back of this there have been many rumors about the possible exit of Ter Stegen this summer, but in his eyes he sees himself residing in Barcelona this summer. He made that clear when he spoke to the media on Sunday while he was in Germany, according to MD.
'Am I struck by the rumors that the club wants to sell me? Nobody told me about this, so I don't know the situation. I'm not worried. I know I'll be in Barcelona next year. I did not speak to Hansi and there has been no contact in the last few days because I see no reason for that.
“It is a situation that has now arisen. But I have to say that this is common. Barcelona is probably one of the largest clubs in the world and there is always competition, regardless of circumstances.
It makes sense for Barcelona to replace Ter Stegen with Garcia, since he is younger, would have a considerably smaller salary, and it is also generally considered to be at a better level. And although the latter comes to arrive, it seems that this will not necessarily guarantee the departure of Ter Stegen.
