Ter Stegen has been one of the most singled-out people in Barça's environment in recent months due to his actions. As a club legend, the German has gone through a season in which people haven't trusted him much. The injury he suffered kept him off the field and, upon returning, he hasn't had it easy at all.
Barça is recovering positively from their financial crisis and is already starting to explore market options. With the imminent arrival of Joan García, Ter Stegen's days are numbered. When it was expected that he would leave for Türkiye, a much more attractive possibility has now emerged for him.
Ter Stegen and his situation at Barça
Ter Stegen has spent 10 years as Barça's goalkeeper and has been one of the essential pillars all this time. In fact, for many seasons, he has been and continues to be a reference for all those young players. His experience has been highly valued at the club, but it seems that the end of the cycle is approaching.
Barça had to sign a goalkeeper to replace Ter Stegen after his injury at the beginning of the season. When he became available again, Hansi Flick chose to keep playing without him and didn't give him the desired prominence. Faced with this situation, the goalkeeper decided to put pressure on the club, something the coach didn't like at all.
It seems that Flick never really liked Ter Stegen and, in the German national team, he couldn't get ahead of Neuer. Now that it seemed he was going to Türkiye, the goalkeeper has rejected the offer. Interestingly, Manchester City appears as the best candidate, but only if Ederson accepts the offer he has on the table.
Ter Stegen's possibility of playing at Manchester City
Ter Stegen wanted to stay at Barça, but the recent signing of Joan García is forcing him to look for another option. According to several media outlets, Ederson has an offer from Al Nassr and is seriously considering accepting it. His contract with the English side expires in 2026 and it doesn't seem like it will be extended.
If Ederson finally ends up leaving, Ter Stegen would be Pep Guardiola's ideal option, as he will look to strengthen his goal. Over the coming months, we will learn more about the possible departure of the Barça goalkeeper.
