Reports linked Marc-Andre ter Stegen with a potential summer move to Ajax, but Ajax are not considering signing him. The club values his experience, leadership, and ball-playing ability, yet his high salary at Barcelona would be a major obstacle. Ter Stegen is currently on loan at Girona and is sidelined with an injury. He remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028 and is not included in Hansi Flick’s plans. Ter Stegen expects his near future to be away from a backup role at Barcelona and would consider continuing at Girona at Montilivi.
"Ter Stegen is simply not part of Ajax's plans for the summer transfer window. Although the Dutch giants value the 34-year-old German's qualities, such as his experience, leadership and ability with the ball at his feet, the club are currently not considering a move for him. The veteran goalkeeper is on a significant salary at Barça, and that alone would pose a huge challenge for a club like Ajax. For now, though, despite the rumours, a move to Ajax does not appear to be on the table."
"The German goalkeeper, currently on loan at Girona and sidelined with an injury, does not feature in Hansi Flick's plans at the Spotify Camp Nou for next season. As such, it was suggested that a move to Ajax could be on the cards, given that former Barcelona sporting director Jordi Cruyff now holds the same role at the Dutch club. Moreover, current Girona boss, Michel, has emerged as the favourite to become the next manager at Ajax, adding weight to the rumours about a move for Ter Stegen."
"Ter Stegen is facing a decisive summer regarding his future. He remains under contract at Barcelona until 2028. As mentioned previously, he is not part of Flick's plans for the future. According to the report, the veteran goalkeeper himself accepts that his immediate future does not involve returning to a backup role at Barcelona. His intention is to find a new destination away from the Spotify Camp Nou, and the possibility of continuing at Montilivi with Girona is something that he would consider."
