Overview
- Girona confirmed the deal after Marc-André ter Stegen completed a medical, finalizing a loan through season’s end.
- Barcelona will cover most of his roughly €16 million salary, and a clause prevents him from playing against his parent club.
- Barcelona coach Hansi Flick confirmed the exit, framing it as a bid for regular minutes ahead of Germany squad selection.
- Ter Stegen had dropped to third-choice at Barcelona behind Joan García and Wojciech Szczesny and has featured just once this season.
- Girona also added Claudio Echeverri and Fran Beltrán in a mid-season reinforcement push, while Ter Stegen remains under Barcelona contract until 2028.
