Pep Guardiola has never been one to shy away from making bold moves – especially when he feels a position in his squad is no longer up to par. And now, after several successful seasons with Ederson Moraes in goal, the Spaniard is ready for a major overhaul. According to Fichajes , he wants to bring Marc-Andre Ter Stegen from Barcelona to Manchester City.
Ederson, once the poster boy for Guardiola's 'footed goalkeeper' philosophy, has started to show signs of decline in recent seasons. His inconsistency and individual errors have had a direct impact on the team's results, especially in big games where any mistake is punished. While the Brazilian has had his moments of brilliance, it is clear that Pep cannot ignore the risks in the decisive stages.

In that context, Ter Stegen emerged as the perfect choice. With excellent footwork, great reflexes and rare composure, the German goalkeeper is the type of player that Guardiola always prioritizes in his tactical scheme. Not only that, he has followed Ter Stegen since his early days at Borussia Monchengladbach and admired his development.
As for Barcelona, they are also facing financial pressure. Ter Stegen's high salary and the appearance of new player Joan Garcia have made the Catonia club's leadership seriously consider the possibility of selling him if they receive a reasonable offer. With the team needing to reduce the salary fund to be able to strengthen the force in other lines, letting Ter Stegen leave is no longer taboo.
If the deal goes through, it could be a game-changer at the Etihad. Ter Stegen would not only bring solidity but also inspiration to the defence, something Guardiola has made a priority for next season. The move would also send a clear signal that City are not content to stand still in the title race, especially with the Champions League and Premier League title still vital targets.
