Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen could be on the move this January, with Girona FC emerging as a surprise contender for his signature. The German international, who has fallen down the pecking order at Camp Nou, is reportedly being considered by three clubs, with Girona confirming their interest in a potential loan deal.
🔍 Girona’s Interest Confirmed
Girona manager Michel added fuel to the speculation during a recent media appearance, stating:
“I’d love to have ter Stegen with us! He’s a world-class goalkeeper of course.”
This public endorsement has intensified rumors that Girona are actively pursuing the 33-year-old shot-stopper, who has returned to fitness after missing the first half of the season due to back surgery.
⚽ Ter Stegen’s Situation at Barcelona
- Current Status: Third-choice under Hansi Flick, behind Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny
- Recent Appearance: Featured in Barcelona’s Copa del Rey win vs Guadalajara
- Contract: Runs until 2028, but playing time is limited
- Motivation: Needs regular minutes to retain Germany’s No.1 spot ahead of the 2026 World Cup
Despite his long-standing role as Barcelona’s captain and one of Europe’s most decorated goalkeepers, Ter Stegen’s future at the club appears increasingly uncertain.
💰 Financial Fair Play Complications
According to Mundo Deportivo, any loan deal will require La Liga’s Financial Fair Play approval, which could complicate negotiations. Girona’s budget constraints and Ter Stegen’s salary are key factors that may influence the feasibility of the move.
🧠 What This Means for Girona
- Strategic Upgrade: Girona are currently competing at the top end of La Liga and could benefit from Ter Stegen’s experience
- Squad Depth: Goalkeeping has been a concern this season, and Ter Stegen’s arrival would address that
- Market Statement: Signing a player of Ter Stegen’s caliber would signal Girona’s ambition in the second half of the season
