Ter Stegen is furious with Barcelona’s management and intends to defend his rights under his contract with the Catalan club until the summer of 2028, according to Sport.
Ter Stegen was excluded from Barcelona’s plans for next season after Joan Laporta’s management decided to sign goalkeeper Juan Garcia from Espanyol, renew Szczesny’s contract as his replacement, and inform the German goalkeeper that he has no role to play in Hansi Flick’s squad.
Once Ter Stegen completed his international duty with the German national team, he flew from Stuttgart to Barcelona in a private jet to meet with the management and decide his future before going on vacation.
Ter Stegen is furious about the recent developments and continues to insist on continuing with Barcelona and does not want to leave. He is in a position of strength due to his contract, but at the same time, he fears he will not play in matches and will even lose the chance to play in the 2026 World Cup with Germany.
The meeting is expected to be tense. Ter Stegen believes there is a strange attack on his person, with the support of the club’s management. Meanwhile, Laporta will try every possible way to reach an agreement with the player and his agent to quickly resolve the crisis.
In any case, Ter Stegen is expected to begin pre-season with Barcelona and fight to continue. Even though the club intends to offer him a year’s salary in exchange for terminating his contract, he will refuse, as if seeking revenge on the club’s management for the way they treated him.
According to Mundo Deportivo, one of the major European clubs is interested in signing Ter Stegen, which would provide an opportunity to quickly resolve the crisis. The topic here is Milan.
The Italian club is in the process of selling goalkeeper Mike Maignan to Chelsea, and once the deal is officially completed, they will look for an experienced goalkeeper at a low cost. Ter Stegen appears to be the ideal choice, especially since Barcelona would not mind selling him for a small sum.
