Overview

• Marc-André Ter Stegen has trained alone in the gym during the first three 2025–26 preseason sessions without any formal injury announcement.
• Hansi Flick and sporting management have named summer arrival Joan Garcia as first-choice and extended Wojciech Szczesny’s contract to establish a new goalkeeping hierarchy.
• Barcelona must offload high-wage players such as Ter Stegen and Iñaki Peña to meet LaLiga’s 1:1 financial fair play requirements and open slots to register new signings.
• Ter Stegen remains under contract until June 2028, but the club considers his departure essential to complete its summer recruitment.
• Interest from Galatasaray suggests a potential destination if Ter Stegen seeks regular minutes ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
