The relationship between Marc-André ter Stegen and FC Barcelona is facing its lowest hours. The discontent between the two parties is already more than noticeable and from the sports management of the Blaugrana team they consider that the best thing is for the German player to end up leaving.
The German goalkeeper, as expected, supported by his background and character, has plenty of teams interested in acquiring his services. Thus, in the last hours another team to join the interested parties is Paris Saint-Germain, according to recent rumors.
It is worth remembering that the discontent between the club and the German is due to the commitment to renewal in the goal, in addition to the fact that he could lose the captaincy. However, despite the fact that negotiations have been initiated to facilitate his departure, the goalkeeper maintains a firm position of wanting to continue linked to the Catalan team with which he has won numerous titles.
Also, 'MATS' is currently recovering from an operation on his back due to some lumbar problems, which will keep him away from the field for a few months.
Ter Stegen to PSG: Real possibility?
In this sense, PSG would have already stated that their interest in the '1' of Barça is solid, in order to have two main goalkeepers with total guarantees, considering the starting goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Parisian team, led by Luis Enrique, seeks to add to its ranks a profile of guarantees and proven experience under the three sticks, for which the Asturian would also not look unfavorably on a possible incorporation of the native of Mönchengladbach.
Although Ter Stegen, for now, only wants to play at Barça, his position could change in the coming months, since he wants to be the starting goalkeeper for the German national team in the 2026 World Cup that will be played in North America.
So far, that possibility of being the main guardian under the German goal would be moving away, because he would no longer be the undisputed starter in Barcelona and needs to be in a team where he is. Therefore, in case of departure, this could be in the winter market.
The 25/26 season, a new scenario for Ter Stegen at Barça
In this order of ideas, Marc-André, after completing his recovery, will no longer have the prominence to which he is accustomed. Joan García, in principle, will be the new owner of the culé goal, while Wojciech Szczęsny becomes the second.
This is how Ter Stegen faces the 2025/26 season. Also, the club's intention is to continue reducing the wage bill that is exceeded and believes that the goalkeeper has a very high salary for the new role he will have to face.
'MATS' is among the highest paid players in the squad. Currently, he receives a gross remuneration close to 14 million euros per year, which translates into about 7 'kilos' net per season.
