Marc-André ter Stegen and football. A story that has become increasingly tragic in recent years. After his unsuccessful loan spell at FC Girona, including another injury and missing the World Cup, the German goalkeeper was expected back at FC Barcelona in July.
The problem: nobody there really wanted him anymore. Despite being under contract until 2028, he no longer seemed to play a role in coach Hansi Flick’s plans. Girona, on the other hand, would probably have liked to keep him longer, but to make matters worse, the club had also been relegated, so a permanent stay was no longer financially viable.
Now, however, it very much looks as though the 34-year-old has found a new club for a fresh start. As reported by Fabrizio Romano and Barça-aligned outlet Jijantes, the goalkeeper is joining Ajax Amsterdam.
He will be loaned there until 2027, and according to Romano, the Dutch club will also cover a large part of his salary.
It will be interesting to see whether this time the story has a successful ending. Who knows, maybe the next major tournament will bring another sensational goalkeeper comeback, and ter Stegen can still fulfill his dream of being Germany’s number one at a major tournament.
