Barcelona Plans to Sell Ter Stegen as Galatasaray Emerges as Potential Destination

Barcelona is preparing to let go of goalkeeper Marc-Andre Ter Stegen due to La Liga’s 1:1 transfer rule, which requires one player to be sold for every new signing. Coach Hansi Flick has informed Ter Stegen that he is not in the club’s plans for the upcoming season. Selling Ter Stegen, who is among the highest earners at Barcelona, would free up significant wages to register new players, including the club’s next primary goalkeeper, Joan Garcia
Despite being told he won’t feature next season, Ter Stegen is reluctant to leave Barcelona immediately. However, opportunities for regular playing time elsewhere, especially at Galatasaray, are emerging. Turkish club Galatasaray is reportedly interested in signing Ter Stegen as a replacement for Fernando Muslera, who recently returned to South America. This move could offer Ter Stegen a fresh start in a competitive European environment.
The upcoming 2025-26 season is pivotal for Ter Stegen, particularly with the World Cup approaching in North America. While he currently holds the position of Germany’s number one goalkeeper, consistent playing time is critical to maintaining this status. Barcelona hopes this factor will encourage Ter Stegen to pursue a transfer before the summer window closes.
A transfer to Galatasaray would allow Ter Stegen to continue competing at a high level while securing his spot as a first-choice keeper. For both the player and the club, this potential move could provide a mutually beneficial solution as Barcelona looks to balance its squad and finances for the new season.
