Overview
- Rudi Voller told Kicker that it is irrelevant whether Marc-Andre ter Stegen remains at Barcelona or moves elsewhere because he ultimately has to play.
- Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has confirmed Joan Garcia as his current first-choice goalkeeper, limiting ter Stegen’s opportunities after his return from injury.
- Ter Stegen missed the first four months of the season following back surgery but is now medically cleared and back in matchday squads.
- Julian Nagelsmann previously identified ter Stegen as his preferred option for Germany, with the caveat that he must be playing regularly to keep that status.
- Reports say the keeper’s agent has examined January loan options, yet ter Stegen intends to stay in Barcelona, with Voller noting ongoing contact through goalkeeping coach Andreas Kronenberg.
