"AS" published an article talking about Ter Stegen's future.
Ter Stegen underwent a second surgery for back problems in July, and everything that happened since then has left a bad impression on everyone at Barcelona. According to the club, he deliberately boldly stated that he would only be out for three months to avoid being listed as long-term injury and thereby creating a barrier to Juan Garcia's registration. His refusal to share his medical reports with La Liga also displeased the club, which responded by initiating disciplinary proceedings against him and removing him as captain.
Fortunately, everyone reflected in time, and with Ter Stegen's speech as captain at the Gamper Cup, this controversy has completely ended.
During this period, Ter Stegen has been working on his recovery. He aims to return from January. But his future situation is currently completely unknown. The goalkeeper's current priority is to stay at Barcelona, where he is under contract until 2028, and believes he is capable of competing with Juan Garcia for a starting spot.
However, the club's commitment to Juan Garcia is very strong and has been recognized by the sports management department led by Deco and Flick. If Ter Stegen accepts a substitute role, there shouldn't be any problem with him staying until the end of the season and sitting back down to discuss his future next summer.
However, this represents a significant risk for him, as his goal and desire is to represent Germany in the next World Cup. This is his last chance to participate in a major competition as the main goalkeeper of the national team. If he has no games to play in the club, he will have no chance to be used by the national team. Germany coach Nagelsmann and other voices have been advising him to find a team where he can play so that he can be in good shape for the World Cup.
ter Stegen and Barcelona must sit down to discuss his future and make a decision once he receives medical clearance. The player himself receives an offer and may leave on loan, but this is more complicated. The main problem is that his salary is high and his contract is for a long time.
