Ter Stegen loses prestige at Barcelona and could sign with PSG

German goalkeeper could leave Barça after internal conflict, with Paris Saint-Germain ready to make a move
Barcelona may be preparing for a future without Marc-André ter Stegen, as tensions between the goalkeeper and the club’s board have reportedly escalated. According to Fichajes, the German shot-stopper could soon be on his way out, with Paris Saint-Germain closely monitoring the situation.
Conflict with Barcelona Board Fuels Exit Talks
Ter Stegen has long been considered a key figure at Camp Nou, but his refusal to restructure his contract to facilitate new signings has reportedly upset club executives. Under new manager Hansi Flick, the 32-year-old’s role is also said to be under review, further fueling speculation of a potential departure.
PSG Eyeing Ter Stegen as Donnarumma’s Successor
With Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future at PSG hanging in the balance, the Parisian club is looking for a high-caliber replacement. Luis Enrique, who coached Ter Stegen during Barcelona’s treble-winning 2014/15 season, is said to be pushing for a reunion in Paris.
Donnarumma’s current contract runs until 2026, but renewal talks have stalled. If PSG fails to secure an extension, Ter Stegen has emerged as a top candidate to take over between the posts.
Premier League and Real Madrid Also Interested
The German goalkeeper’s name has also surfaced in Premier League transfer discussions, with Manchester City reportedly considering him as a long-term solution. Pep Guardiola, who has seen inconsistencies in City’s goalkeeping department, could see Ter Stegen as a reliable option.
Even Real Madrid is said to be keeping an eye on the situation, potentially targeting Ter Stegen in 2026 as a free transfer, should he decide to see out his contract at Barça without renewing.
