Mark-André Ter Stegen, Barcelona’s goalkeeper, reportedly wants to leave the club after 11 years. With the arrival of Joan Garcia and the retention of Wojciech Szczęsny, Ter Stegen has fallen to third choice goalkeeper and will not have a place under coach Hans Flick. Galatasaray has shown interest and offered him to be the first-choice goalkeeper in their project, with a salary of five million euros per season, less than his current earnings at Barcelona. Ter Stegen wants to play at the highest level throughout the season and aims to be the first-choice goalkeeper for the German national team at the World Cup next summer. It is expected that Galatasaray will pay a transfer fee or take Ter Stegen on loan with an obligatory purchase next summer. Ter Stegen has a contract with Barcelona until summer 2025, and a departure is likely after a long injury break.
