Both sides suffer? Ter Stegen insists on staying in the team. Barcelona wants to send him away and terminate the contract is the only way
4:39am, 17 June 2025【Football】
On June 16, Juan Ignacio Garcia-Ochoa, a Barcelona reporter from Spain's "Marca", said that Barcelona captain Ter Stegen and the Turkish Super League giant Galatasaray, did not reach any agreement, and there was not even a offer, and the same was true for Monaco, which comes from Ligue 1. This is obviously not good news for Barcelona.

Also today, Espanyol's final holding company issued an announcement that the team goalkeeper Joan Garcia has paid a unilateral termination fee of 26.3415 million euros to the La Liga. According to regulations, after La Liga approval, the player will transfer to a new club, and Espanyol will receive the player's unilateral liquidated damages. This also means that Joan Garcia's transfer to Barcelona has been basically completed and is waiting for official announcement.
After Joan Garcia arrives, Ter Stegen's situation will be even more awkward. Barcelona signed the best goalkeeper of La Liga last season, not to be used as a substitute, otherwise Szczesni and Penia would be enough. So Barcelona's idea is very simple. Joan Garcia serves as the main goalkeeper, Sczesni renews his contract for two years to accept the substitute position. As for Ter Stegen, he either accepts the third goalkeeper position or leaves. The reason for saying this is because Barcelona is sure that the Little Lions will not stay in the team as a substitute, because he will still play next year's World Cup.

And the subsequent news is also very beneficial to Barcelona, that is, Ter Stegen reached a franchise agreement with the Turkish Super League giant Galatasare, and Barcelona, who is determined to send him away, will only charge a symbolic transfer fee. However, now "Marca" obviously has another statement, that is, Ter Stegen's attitude is very clear, that is, he will not leave Barcelona, will not listen to any offer, will not find a new next company, and will not manipulate public opinion. And this last point seems to mean something.
Telstegen believes that although he has experienced serious injuries last season, his surgery and recovery are very successful. He has returned to his best form and can continue to play as Barcelona's main goalkeeper. Even if Barcelona is about to sign Joan Garcia, it will not put pressure on Ter Stegen.

If this is the case, it will be Barcelona who has the headache. Of course they could have Joan Garcia as the main goalkeeper and put Ter Stegen on the bench. But doing so will only result in a loss of both sides. Because Little Lion's contract has three years left, and his annual salary has reached 12 million euros. It is obviously not cost-effective for Barcelona to support a substitute with such a high salary.
And Telstegen did this, it would not be of any benefit to him. After finally helping Neuer to become the main goalkeeper of the German national team, he is confident to prepare for the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup next summer. If he really becomes the third goalkeeper in Barcelona, Nagelsmann will definitely consider the main goalkeeper, and will not even take Little Lion to the United States, Canada and Mexico.
Therefore, this kind of result of both sides' losses will most likely not happen. The most likely ending is that Barcelona pays a portion of the severance payment, and the Little Lion takes the money to leave the Camp Nou to join a team that can provide satisfactory salary and main position. From now on, there is no need to see each other again.
