Barcelona captain abandoned! Ter Stegen and the club intensify

2:53pm, 11 June 2025Football

What is Barcelona going to do? Ter Stegen, who has played for 11 years, was actually "swept out" by the club. This is too sudden and explosive, right? The former meritorious goalkeeper is now facing the fate of being cleansed. The plot reversal is caught off guard. What is going on?

Many foreign media recently said that Barcelona is about to sign Espanyol's 24-year-old goalkeeper Garcia and arranged for him to serve as one goal next season. He also plans to renew his contract with Szczesny and let him serve as the second goal. Ter Stegen is no longer in the team's plan, and the club hopes that he will leave this summer. In order to let him go, Barcelona was even willing to pay one year's salary as compensation, and gave up the transfer fee and allowed him to join the next company freely. You know, Ter Stegen joined Barcelona in 2014 and signed the contract in 2028. He finally recovered from injury after being seriously injured in September last year, but he waited for such a result. Who would accept it? Barcelona's series of operations undoubtedly dropped a bombshell within the team, which not only concerns the future of a core player, but also may affect the team's future direction.

Telstegen has been a key figure in the team's defense since joining in 2014. But now, Barcelona wants to sweep him out, and the conflict between the two sides has reached an irreconcilable point. It is understood that the outbreak of contradictions was the earliest in the Champions League semi-finals. At that time, Ter Stegen's agent clearly informed sports director Deko that Ter Stegen had fully recovered and could play, but head coach Flick chose Szczesny to start. As the captain, Ter Stegen was extremely dissatisfied with this and began to alienate the team, not go with the team, train alone, and even refused to speak to the fans at the championship celebration, which led to a temporary collapse of the entire celebration process and the speech sessions of other players were also forced to be cancelled. He felt that he had been betrayed and marginalized not because of his competitive performance, but because of his private motivations, and Deco and Frick were the culprits. At the same time, Barcelona was also extremely angry at his behavior, believing that his lack of professionalism and respect for the club and fans was an open confrontation. Now, both sides have completely fought and no one has been convinced. The last three-year contract between Ter Stegen and Barcelona has a total salary of up to 42 million euros, as well as additional bonuses and incentive clauses, which is an unbearable huge sum for Barcelona, ​​which is already in financial difficulties. If he stays in the team as the third goalkeeper, the cost-effectiveness will be as low as the bottom. For Ter Stegen, participating in the US, Canada and Mexico World Cup next year is his dream. If you have no ball to play in Barcelona, ​​you will inevitably lose the opportunity to represent the German team. Up to now, no one in the Barcelona team has communicated directly with him. He relies on reading the news to understand the situation. Although he has returned to the club and will have to discuss with Barcelona at a high level next time, it is hard to say whether it is easy to negotiate or not.

At present, the relationship between Barcelona and Ter Stegen is like a tight string, about to break out. This dispute is a directional adjustment for Barcelona, ​​while Ter Stegen may be the most painful breakup in his career. If the situation continues to deteriorate, the two sides will no longer be just a farewell at the competitive level, but a complete break. Next, it depends on how the two sides are playing at the negotiating table. Whether they shake hands and make peace, or go their separate ways completely, everyone is waiting and seeing.
