A surprising parking spot for Ter Stegen.

Marc-Andre ter Stegen could be the next big name to join Monaco this summer, following Ansu Fati and Paul Pogba.

According to L'Equipe and Mundo Deportivo , Monaco have begun negotiations with Barcelona's goalkeeper regarding a potential transfer this summer. Despite spending nearly a decade at Camp Nou, Ter Stegen could leave after the Catalan club made moves to strengthen their goalkeeping position.

The La Liga champions signed Joan Garcia from Espanyol for €25 million to replace Ter Stegen. Garcia is expected to be the first-choice goalkeeper under coach Hansi Flick, while Wojciech Szczesny is seen as a backup option. Selling Ter Stegen, who is currently earning a high salary, will help Barcelona balance their finances ahead of the new season.

Monaco is actively building a squad to compete with Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Recently, they completed the signings of Fati and Pogba. Under the guidance of coach Adi Hutter, Monaco plans to compete fiercely at the top of Ligue 1 and sees Ter Stegen as a crucial addition to this project.

Ter Stegen's future will depend on how determined Barcelona are to let him go. The 33-year-old goalkeeper is not keen on leaving right now, but things could change if the club no longer values ​​him.

Ter Stegen's salary, with an income of over 20 million euros per year, has been scrutinized, especially as Barcelona is exceeding its wage bill and needs to cut costs to sign new players. All of this has led Ter Stegen to understand that he is gradually becoming a financial burden.
