Ter Stegen is one of the best goalkeepers in the world and has been proving it for many years; season after season. In fact, it is known that he has had offers from many teams and coaches, such as from Guardiola. Fortunately for the culés, their goalkeeper hasn't moved from Barça since he signed in 2014.
During this year, Barça has undergone many changes: from Flick, who has been the key, to the goalkeeper. Ter Stegen suffered a serious knee injury that forced the club to sign Szczesny. Now, a young prospect who could become just like the German is getting closer thanks to Deco.
Ter Stegen, Szczesny, and the mess in Deco's goalkeeping
Ter Stegen was the undisputed starter and there was no one who could take away his minutes, something that has been seen over the last century. Unfortunately, the German suffered a patellar tendon rupture and could only play 7 matches of the 24-25 season. After this, Barça decided to sign Szczesny, but for Iñaki Peña to be the starter.

Hansi Flick admitted on several occasions that Szczesny was just a reinforcement and would only play in case of extreme necessity. Finally, he has ended up being the number 1 goalkeeper and Iñaki will have to leave in search of opportunities. Barça is close to renewing the Pole for one more year, but that's not all.
In addition to Szczesny's renewal, Deco wants to secure the services of Joan García, the star of RCD Espanyol. The Catalan team has one of the most promising goalkeepers, and it is known that Barça is getting closer to him. If he finally ends up signing for Barça, Ter Stegen could find himself in trouble.
Deco's decision could harm Ter Stegen
Ter Stegen made Bravo have to leave the club, as Barça bet on him seeing that he was a young prospect. Now, Joan García could do the same, but this time with the German. What is clear is that there is no room for García and Szczesny, so a choice will have to be made.
Barça's goalkeeping is in a situation of uncertainty, and it is not known what will happen for the next season. What is clear is that Deco will have to make decisions, and this end of the season will be key. If they want Joan García permanently, Barça would have to pay a 30 million clause.
