"Ter Stegen's situation at Barcelona has become clear over recent weeks. He has yet to appear in a league match this season and has been overtaken by Joan García, who arrived from Espanyol in the summer and has started every game in La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. His only appearance was in Copa del Rey, and even that is not guaranteed."
"His absence against Racing Santander in the round of 16 was widely interpreted as a turning point. Per Mundo Deportivo, Ter Stegen had hoped the competition would provide minutes to stay in contention for Germany, particularly with the 2026 FIFA World Cup approaching. National team coach Julian Nagelsmann has already warned that players without regular football would struggle to remain in his plans."
Marc-André ter Stegen will not move to the Premier League this month. West Ham made an exploratory loan approach to Barcelona that was rejected and did not progress. Ter Stegen is expected to join Girona on loan until the end of the season, with only minor details remaining. Ter Stegen has not played in La Liga this season and has been overtaken as starter by Joan García, appearing only in the Copa del Rey. Girona view him as an immediate starter and can offer regular minutes. Girona can cover only a small portion of his salary, with Barcelona set to pay the majority. Barcelona indicated they will accept whatever decision he makes.
