Overview
- Hansi Flick declared Joan García the undisputed No. 1 and refused to discuss the No. 2 or No. 3 spots.
- Marc-André ter Stegen is fully fit, training with the squad, and included on matchday lists yet now sits behind other keepers.
- Club briefings, reported by Marca, outline two routes for the goalkeeper: accept a limited backup role or leave on loan in January.
- A permanent transfer is considered unlikely, with any loan expected to require Barcelona to cover a large share of his salary.
- Regular minutes are seen as vital to his 2026 World Cup chances with Germany, adding urgency to a temporary move.
