At Barça, Ter Stegen is now a substitute. As a result, his future is highly uncertain. When facing the media on Monday, Blaugrana boss Hans-Dieter Flick addressed the situation of his fellow countryman.

"He is a first-class player. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper. We have three excellent keepers and I’m delighted about that. As I’ve said before, Joan is the number one. Then Szczesny had a fantastic season last year and is also a very important player. If Ter Stegen wants to stay? That’s his decision. We’ve discussed his situation and I respect it. He’s a fantastic goalkeeper, a very good player, and he also has an excellent character,"

the Barça coach revealed.

🚨🇩🇪 Hansi Flick on ter Stegen’s future: “Marc is an amazing goalkeeper, and we have 3 of them. My words were clear: Joan García is the number 1 goalkeeper, so then we'll see what happens”. “Don’t forget that Szczesny is a key player for us, on and off the pitch”.
