Barça actually wanted to give up his goalkeeper. But Marc-André Ter Stegen is reportedly struggling with pain. That could change a lot.
According to Spanish media reports, Marc-André Ter Stegen is at risk of surgery on his back. The German national goalkeeper had already missed the unit with the team at the start of the training and worked alone in the weight room. As, among other things, “sports” and “cope” report, back problems were the reason for this. An intervention is now conceivable to clear it out in the long term.
An operation would force Ter Stegen to take a month, which is why the 33-year-old and his environment now want to advise himself to make a decision next week, it is said.
The pain comes at the wrong time for the jetty. Because his future in Barcelona wobbles more than ever. Barça has signed Joan García as the new number one and made Wojciech Szczęsny a replacement goalkeeper. According to the number three, the Stegen was reportedly degraded, which was also communicated to him.
The national goalkeeper itself also had to stay in Barcelona until 2028 due to his contract. At the same time, he wants to be the German regular keeper at the World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the USA in the coming year, which he can only be when he also gets game practice. Previous swap rumors about Manchester United or the AS Monaco have not become more specific.
These days, there were still rumors that Manchester City was interested in ter Stegen. Because Ederson, Manchester City’s current number one, should flirt with a transfer to Saudi Arabia or the Italian series A, according to “El Nacional”. The back problem with Ter Stegen could now take the wind out of the sails a little.
