Michel keen to reunite with Marc-André ter Stegen at Ajax | OneFootball

“Mundo Deportivo” and “Sport” report that Michel is interested in signing Marc-André ter Stegen for Ajax Amsterdam. The 50-year-old Spaniard is named the head coach of the Eredivisie side after the end of his five-year Girona spell.

Michel signed ter Stegen for Girona in the second half of last season. However, the 34-year-old shot-stopper has only played two games before a hamstring injury abruptly ended his campaign.

Meanwhile, the 2024/25 Champions League participants are relegated from LaLiga after a 19th-placed finish. For Michel, the new role will be his first outside Spain, both as a player and coach.

The German international is still under contract until 2028 at FC Bayern, but the former captain isn’t in the plan of fellow German Hansi Flick. His long-standing injury also ruled ter Stegen out of the World Cup. 

Ajax recently had a German goalkeeper with Diant Ramaj’s 18-month spell before his move to Borussia Dortmund. The traditional club will be in the Conference League next season after beating Utrecht on penalties in the playoff final.
