‘I’ve spoken with Hansi Flick, but’ – International boss responds to Barcelona star’s exit links | OneFootball

German national team head coach Julian Nagelsmann was on Friday drawn on the ongoing speculation linking Marc-André ter Stegen with a move away from Barcelona.

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen’s future has of course taken its place centre stage in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the course of the last week.

This comes amid the understanding that Espanyol standout Joan García’s arrival at Barcelona could push the club’s long-time no.1 out the exit door.

Groups of Blaugrana supporters have even gone as far as to kickstart an online campaign, to convince the Camp Nou brass to sanction Ter Stegen’s sale.

Speaking during a press conference in front of the media on Friday, it therefore came as little surprise when the subject of such chatter was put to the shot-stopper’s manager at international level.

This comes after Ter Stegen was recalled to Germany’s squad following a long-term spell on the sidelines.

Julian Nagelsmann, though, was keen to make clear that, despite a recent conversation with Hansi Flick, he has little insight into the situation:

“Ter Stegen potentially leaving Barça? I’ve spoken with Hansi Flick – but certainly not about Barcelona’s transfer plans. I’ve read that Marc is a potential candidate for sale, but that’s not my job.”
