Marc-André Ter Stegen is in front of the comeback at the Nations League final tournament in the DFB goal-and before the end of his long-term club FC Barcelona?
The 33-year-old is preparing for the half-finals against Portugal against Portugal next Wednesday (9:00 p.m./ZDF and DAZN) in Munich on the outside of media reports in his long-time adopted home of Spain.
During his DFB return, Ter Stegen presented himself very concentrated and physically in top shape when he returned to the public on Friday in Herzogenaurach. Right from the start, national coach Julian Nagelsmann clarified the goalkeeper question for the two games at the Final Four, in which European champion Spain and France play the other semi -finals.

I only read that the long -standing Ter Stegen (contract until 2028) is inviolable (contract until 2028), “said Nagelsmann. The 37 -year -old said: “This is not my construction site. I don’t get scared and worried either – and Marc is not.” In any case, the Stegen is “top in” in training. He is supposed to play his 43rd international match against Portugal, Hoffenheimer Oliver Baumann has to go back to the replacement bench.
Green light for sale?
According to Spanish media, Barça President Joan Laporta is said to have granted the Green Light for the departure of long-term number one at a board meeting of the Spanish football champion.
The 33 -year -old Ter Stegen had been injured for almost the entire season after a patella tendon tear in the knee. He returned in the final phase, but Flick continued to rely on Wojciech Szczesny in the important games.
The 35 -year -old Pole had been signed after Ter Stegen’s serious injury and has now extended his contract with Barça. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Joan García is traded by the local rival Espanyol Barcelona as Ter Stegen’s successor as number one. However, other clubs such as Manchester City or Bayer Leverkusen should also be very interested in it.
