The end for Ter Stegen

Ter Stegen is likely to leave Barca.

Barcelona are set to sign Joan Garcia. The deal is said to be complete and only requires the activation of a release clause. Barca's move puts the German goalkeeper at risk of losing his starting position and will have to compete fiercely for a place in goal next season.

Despite declaring that he did not want to leave Camp Nou during the German national team training session, Ter Stegen still saw suspicious signals from the club, pushing him towards the exit door. After the match with France, Ter Stegen immediately flew back to Barcelona by private jet with the hope of clarifying the situation before the summer break. However, the important meeting with coach Hansi Flick could not take place because he and Sports Director Deco were not present at the club's headquarters.

Instead of communicating directly, Ter Stegen had to receive messages through the media. Spanish press reported that Barca wanted to use the goalkeeper pair Garcia and Szczesny next season, while the German star was excluded from the plan.

Ter Stegen's salary, with an income of more than 20 million euros/year, was also dissected, in the context that Barcelona is exceeding the salary cap and needs to cut to register new players. All of this makes Ter Stegen understand that he is gradually becoming a financial burden.

Even in the German national team, coach Julian Nagelsmann also expressed concern: "I only know what the press publishes, and no one is sure what is true. In my role, I hope to receive clearer information about what will happen to him."

The silent crisis between Barca and the veteran goalkeeper could be a sign of an inevitable farewell.
