Ter Stegen Accepts Girona Loan in Principle as Wage Split Stalls Barcelona Talks

The goalkeeper is pursuing regular minutes before the World Cup under a loan that would require Girona to cover roughly a quarter of his salary.

Overview

  • Reports indicate Ter Stegen has agreed to join Girona on loan, with completion dependent on financial alignment between the clubs.
  • Barcelona wants Girona to assume about 20–25% of his wages, a figure Girona currently cannot meet despite recent payroll changes.
  • Under Hansi Flick, Joan García has been installed as Barcelona’s first-choice goalkeeper, limiting Ter Stegen’s prospects for significant playing time.
  • After briefly leaving the Supercopa camp for knee tests, Ter Stegen was medically cleared, returned to the squad, and Deco said the issue was not serious.
  • MARCA reports Girona are the only club to have formally contacted Barcelona, and Ter Stegen is not pushing for an exit or a pay cut.
