Ter Stegen continues to attract 'suitors' in the summer market. The latest to join the 'race' for the Barça captain is Inter Milan, who could lose Yann Sommer this summer.
FC Barcelona could find an unexpected 'ally' to get rid of Marc-André ter Stegen. The German goalkeeper is a fixed discard for Hansi Flick next season, after the signing of Joan García and the imminent renewal of Wojciech Szczesny. In principle, the '1' resists leaving, but an offer from a big European club may change his mind.
According to the latest information, that team could be Inter Milan. Ter Stegen has already been rumored as a possible reinforcement for Galatasaray and Manchester United, but none of these options convinces the player from Mönchengladbach, even if he would arrive to take the starting position.
With the Turkish team, the problem logically lies in the level of the Ottoman league. Okan Buruk's team will play Champions League next season, but beyond the arrival of Leroy Sané, the team is still far from the level of the European elite. United, on the other hand, will not play international competitions in 25/26.
Inter will go for Ter Stegen if Sommer leaves
However, Inter does have the status of a giant capable of fighting for all titles next season. Although the 'nerazzurri' closed 24/25 without winning anything, they reached May with options to win the treble and reached the Champions League final.
The performance of the Lombard team in the Club World Cup, however, was discreet, with a surprising elimination in the round of 16 against Fluminense (0-2), but Cristian Chivu is confident in regaining the confidence of the squad this summer. The problem is that, in the goal, the team could suffer a significant loss soon.
Several portals in Turkey assure that, after Ter Stegen's 'no', Galatasaray would have set their sights on Yann Sommer. The experienced Swiss goalkeeper still has one year left on his contract with Inter, but could leave for a figure close to 5 million euros.
If Sommer leaves, the 'nerazzurri' would go for the Barça captain. Marc-André turned 33 in April and has been suffering from muscle injuries for two consecutive seasons. However, he is confident in recovering his best version next season, prior to what could be his last World Cup with Germany, the first as a starter.
Ter Stegen hopes to define his future in Barcelona soon
In that sense, the '1' would prefer to stay in Barcelona and fight for a position, but his salary (almost 14 million gross per year) and the bet on Joan García and Szczesny force the club to free up salary margin with his departure.
Media such as 'SPORT' and 'Mundo Deportivo' assure that Hansi Flick himself will be in charge of clarifying the goalkeeper's situation in a personal chat, once the squad returns to work next week.
After being honest about their positions, the culé board expects a much more flexible position from Ter Stegen to negotiate his departure, either through a loan or a definitive transfer. The German goalkeeper still has three years left on his contract and has been untouchable in the azulgrana goal since 2016, but everything points to his cycle being very close to the end.
