Recently, rumors linking Marc-André ter Stegen with a move to Girona have attracted widespread attention. Such a transfer is fraught with practical difficulties: the player’s salary is too high for Girona to afford, and Barcelona has no intention of continuing to pay his full wages.
Sources close to Ter Stegen confirmed that the player’s stance is very clear: he will only consider opening exit talks if he receives offers from teams that match his level; otherwise, he will stay at Barcelona as originally planned and see out his current contract. It is reported that Ter Stegen is in a calm state of mind and is not in a hurry to make a decision about his future.
In terms of the goalkeeping pecking order, if Joan García suffers an injury, Ter Stegen will stand by as the backup goalkeeper.
Sources close to him also emphasized that he has no obsession with World Cup selection or playing time, and will not leave the club simply for more game opportunities. He will only carefully evaluate a transfer when the competitive appeal is sufficiently aligned with his standards.
Up to now, the offers he has received are generally lacking in appeal and have failed to impress the German shot-stopper.
