According to AS, FC Barcelona has agreed to loan 34-year-old German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen to Ajax for one season. Ter Stegen lost his starting spot at Barcelona last season to Joan Garcia after being plagued by injuries, including back and hamstring issues. He had a previous unremarkable loan to Girona in the winter window where he played only two matches. At Ajax, he will reunite with former Girona coach Michel, who recently moved to the Dutch club. Additionally, Barcelona announced the transfer of goalkeeper Inaki Pena to Panathinaikos, leaving Wojciech Szczesny expected to serve as the backup to Joan Garcia next season.

Source report

Marc-André ter Stegen is no longer part of Hansi Flick's plans at FC Barcelona. According to AS, the Catalan club has reached an agreement with Ajax for a one-year loan of the 34-year-old German goalkeeper, who has been plagued by injuries in recent months.

Ter Stegen lost his starting spot in Barcelona's goal last season, replaced by Joan Garcia. He had already been loaned to Girona during the last winter transfer window, where he endured six unremarkable months. The former Borussia Mönchengladbach goalkeeper played only two matches due to back and hamstring issues.

Reunion with Michel at Ajax

At Ajax, Ter Stegen will reunite with Michel, the former Girona coach who has just arrived in the Dutch capital.

Additional Goalkeeper Moves

This Tuesday, Barcelona also announced the transfer of another goalkeeper: Inaki Pena, who had filled in for Ter Stegen during the 2024–2025 season, will join Panathinaikos.

Looking ahead to next season, Wojciech Szczesny is expected to serve as the number two goalkeeper behind Joan Garcia.
