Ter Stegen: Barcelona "abandoned his son"? The future of the German goalkeeper is uncertain, and high salary becomes the main reason for leaving the team

Barcelona main goalkeeper Mark Andre Terstegen is becoming confusing. The relationship between the German goal and the club has shown obvious rifts, and may even face the fate of leaving the team.

According to Spanish media, Barcelona is close to signing Espanyol goalkeeper João Garcia, and the transaction is considered to have been basically completed and the terms of the termination are only waiting to be activated. This move undoubtedly sends a red flag to Ter Stegen: he will face fierce competition in the new season and may even lose his main position.

Although Ter Stegen publicly expressed his desire to stay at Camp Nou during his training camp in Germany, a series of actions by the club forced him to rethink his future. After the match against France for Germany, he immediately returned to Barcelona in a private jet, trying to communicate his personal situation face to face with the club's senior management. However, the key talks in the plan failed to happen - coach Flick and sports director Deco were not present, and Ter Stegen could only understand the club's attitude through third-party channels.

Media Revealed: Ter Stegen has been excluded from future plans

What is even more disturbing is that the news about Barcelona's goalkeeper arrangement next season was first disclosed by Spanish media: the club plans to use João Garcia and Szczesny to form a new goalkeeper combination, and Ter Stegen has been excluded from future plans.

At the same time, the annual salary of Telstegen exceeds 20 million euros has also become a burden in the eyes of Barcelona's management. With the team's current financial situation still not completely freeing from the pressure of "leverage" and urgently needing to make room for new players to register, this German goalkeeper is gradually regarded as a "financial burden".

Even German national team coach Julian Nagelsmann was puzzled by the development of the situation: "What I know is the content of the media reports, and no one can really determine what happened. As the national team coach, I hope my captain can have a clear career prospect."

This "cold war" between the club and the players seems calm on the surface, but in fact it is undercurrent. All signs indicate that Barcelona is paving the way for sending off the core goalkeeper who has played for many years. For Ter Stegen, who is eager for stable play opportunities and respect, perhaps leaving is the best choice.
