Girona Push to Loan Ter Stegen From Barcelona in January

Overview

• Girona are pressing to take Marc-André ter Stegen on loan for the remainder of the season, according to reports from SPORT relayed by Yahoo Sports and Barca Blaugranes.
• Ter Stegen has lost the starting role to Joan Garcia and has been told regular club minutes are vital to remain Germany’s No. 1 for the 2026 World Cup.
• Reporters say Girona cannot cover his full salary, while Barcelona are reluctant to pay the full amount if he departs on a temporary deal.
• Barcelona acknowledge a separation could make sporting and financial sense but have no intention of forcing out the long-serving captain.
• Aston Villa are not pursuing a goalkeeper at present, as Girona’s interest is strengthened by strong relations with Barcelona and the option to keep the player in Catalunya.
