German national keeper
Ter Stegen only on the edge at Barça – Matthew: Must change
It is still unclear how Marc-André Ter Stegen will continue at FC Barcelona. During the first training sessions, he is not on the pitch with the team. Lothar Matthäus finds clear words.
After a new training unit far from the team of FC Barcelona, distrust of Marc-André ter Stegen is growing in Spain. According to reports, the German national football goalkeeper also completed the second unit in preparation in the fitness room and on the edge of the field with individual exercises.
“As a reason, the club states that the German goalkeeper has problems with the back, but in truth it sounds more like an excuse than something else,” wrote the newspaper “As”: “Everyone is clear that it is a full -grown dispute that will be difficult to solve at short notice.”
On Monday, the association had not given any reason for the solo unit Ter Stegens at the start of the preparation. The association did not publish a medical bulletin, as is usually the case. When he returned after the vacation and the fitness and medical checks at the weekend, there was no question of such symptoms.
Matthew ‘advice: he has to change
“In my opinion, Ter Stegen will no longer play at Barcelona,” said Lothar Matthäus the “Bild”. With a view to the World Cup in the coming year, the record national player added to the World Cup: “He has to play to fulfill his dream of the World Cup. If he wants to be at the World Cup, he has to change.”
Ter Stegen’s contract is still valid for three years, he came from Borussia Mönchengladbach to FC Barcelona in summer 2014. Only the club wants to obviously get rid of the 33 -year -old captain. The new number one – all of this is certain and agreed – is Joan Garcia. The 24-year-old was fetched by the city rival Espanyol.
New number one has a contract until mid -2031
The fact that he received a contract with the Spanish Triple winner of the past season, which is valid by the end of June 2031, says everything about his perspective and the plans of the club bosses, among other things, about sports director Deco and trainer Hansi Flick.
FC Barcelona had recently extended the contract with the 35 -year -old Wojciech Szczęsny. The club had won the former Polish national goalkeeper, which was actually already receding, during the long failure of Ter Stegen due to a serious knee injury last season.
According to media reports, Flick is said to have informed Ter Stegen on Friday that the German keeper will not be set in the coming season and has both García and Szczęsny. “There are decisions that have to be accepted. It shouldn’t be whined,” emphasized Matthew.
Interest from Turkey and Monaco
Again and again it is speculated with a strong interest by Galatasaray Istanbul, where he would meet his national team colleague Leroy Sané. But the AS Monaco is also said to have an interest in Ter Stegen, who in turn only publicly insisted on wanting to fulfill his contract at FC Barcelona
