Ter Stegen has defended Barça's goal for more than 10 years (10 años) and has witnessed all kinds of moments; good and bad. The German has brought a lot of joy to the club and has always given everything to achieve the objectives. Unfortunately, he has had to live through a difficult period and hasn't won all the titles that were desired.
Barça is making a comeback and this season has made it clear that the Culers are back to stay at the top. Flick's arrival has brought with him a series of changes to the squad and Ter Stegen has been one of those affected. Among all the rumors, there's one that's gaining momentum and would link him with a Culer legend.
Ter Stegen and his situation at Barça
Ter Stegen has been at the club for more than 10 years (10 años) and has always shown willingness and passion for the colors; something that's rare nowadays in soccer. The German has been the hero in difficult times and the fans have supported him through all the tough moments. His level, except for a couple of seasons, has always kept at the highest.
He has been a reliable goalkeeper and has proved that the decision to sign him was the right one. Unfortunately for him, all footballers have a cycle and it seems his is coming to an end. Barça has thought a lot about its goal for next year and has already signed the young prospect, Joan García.
Joan García has finished an almost perfect season with Espanyol and has helped his former team keep their place in the First Division. This led Barça to pay his €25 million release clause and he has already been training at Ciutat Esportiva for days. Ter Stegen returned yesterday intending to get back in shape, but a Premier League giant has him on their shortlist.
The giant that wants Ter Stegen
Ter Stegen is on Manchester City's radar, a team that's undergoing a rebuild due to a poor year. Pep Guardiola is letting go of top footballers like Walker and De Bruyne, and Ederson could be next. The Brazilian goalkeeper was close to accepting an offer from Saudi Arabia last year, but he ended up rejecting it.
Now, Ederson would welcome a change of scenery and everything will depend on him. Over the next few weeks, we'll find out what happens with Ter Stegen.
