Marc-André ter Stegen Completes Girona Loan From Barcelona

The move prioritizes regular minutes before the 2026 World Cup with Barcelona paying most of his salary.

Overview

  • Girona and Barcelona announced the loan on Tuesday after the goalkeeper completed a medical and was left out of Barça’s Champions League trip to Prague.
  • The agreement runs through June 30, 2026, covering the remainder of the 2025–26 season.
  • Barcelona will cover the vast majority of his wages, with Girona contributing a small share reported at about €500,000.
  • The deal includes a clause that bars him from facing Barcelona unless Girona pay compensation.
  • Ter Stegen is seeking consistent minutes after falling behind Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny, with Hansi Flick confirming the switch as he targets Germany’s World Cup squad.
