Barcelona seems to be about to sign what many think is their keeper of the future. However, it leaves what their captain and keeper of the present was in a difficult situation.
Barcelona seems to have been made progress on the signing of Espanyol -goalkeeper Joan Garcia. Depending on the report, Garcia agreed to move to Barcelona, ​​or there will only be definitive details to link an agreement. Barcelona would then have to pay his release clause of € 25 million to Espanyol.
The word is that Barcelona sees Garcia and did not rise as number one for next season, just like the original plan. That is why they are open to listening to offers for the German keeper, who has recently turned 33, although they will not push HUM to the door.
According to the sport, Saudi-Arabian side Al-Hilal was the first to show interest in the German international, who is left for three years in his deal in Barcelona. They are linked to Ederson and Liverpool's Alisson from Manchester City, but Ter Stegen is the latest name they look to get a keeper. The Catalan says every day that they are willing to also pay compensation for Ter Stegen.
Ter Stegen spoke with the media on weekends and stated fiercely that he was not going to leave and would fight for the number one place. Sport keeps saying that goalkeeper coach Jose de la Fuente is one of his greatest proponents at the club.
A move to Saudi Arabia would apparently do little for Ter Stegen, apart from financial and possibly in terms of playing time. If there is a reason he would leave Barcelona, ​​it is for regular playing time to secure the number one place for Germany next summer at the World Cup. Playing in Saudi Arabia probably seems to be his attempt to harm his damage in the team.
