Manchester United and Chelsea's interest in Marc-Andre ter Stegen has increased following a notable move: Barcelona have just signed Joan Garcia for 25 million euros.

The move for Joan Garcia from Espanyol signals the end of Ter Stegen's time at Barca. The La Liga champions want to build a stable and long-term project with the future Spain goalkeeper.

Before reaching an agreement with Joan Garcia, Barca had publicly announced their intention to part ways with Ter Stegen. Blaugrana wanted to terminate the contract with the German goalkeeper and compensate him with a year's salary.

In that context, Barca is waiting for a transfer offer to be sent to Ter Stegen to significantly save the budget.

Spanish press said that MU and Chelsea are racing to bring Ter Stegen to join the Premier League.

MU and Chelsea are both clubs in dire need of new goalkeepers before entering the new 2025/26 season.

The Old Trafford team is looking for an experienced goalkeeper as they overhaul their squad, after losing faith in Andre Onana - who often makes serious mistakes.

Meanwhile, Chelsea 's plan before participating in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup is to recruit Mike Maignan. However, the price The Blues offered did not meet AC Milan's requirements.

Coach Enzo Maresca once announced that Robert Sanchez is Chelsea's number 1 goalkeeper next season.

However, in reality, officials at Stamford Bridge are still looking for a new goalkeeper to provide security, to compete in the Champions League and compete in the Premier League.

Ter Stegen's transfer fee is not high. Representatives of MU and Chelsea are trying to convince the 33-year-old goalkeeper about his salary.
