Europa Press, E-Noticies Bombshell! Joan García's latest update changes everything, Ter Stegen already knows it
The German has already received news that completely shatters his hopes
The signing of Joan García has marked a turning point in Barça's goal. Joan has shown a maturity beyond his years and has earned Hansi Flick's complete trust. His arrival hasn't just strengthened a key position, but has also immediately closed the ongoing debate, although he is currently injured.
Ter Stegen, for years undisputed, has seen his role fade in recent months. He is currently absent and not expected to return soon, as he is injured and Flick has already made his choice clear. However, the German goalkeeper is now in the final stretch of his recovery and knows that, right now, he has a place as a starter while Joan García is unavailable.
Ter Stegen learns the latest on Joan García
Ter Stegen knows perfectly well that he needs minutes to keep his level and be able to aim for a spot in the next World Cup. At Barça, it's very difficult for him, but Joan García's absence has opened a glimmer of hope. If he returns before the former RCD Espanyol player, he'll have a chance to regain the starting spot.
At the moment, both are in the recovery phase, leaving Szczesny as the only alternative. However, looking ahead to the match against Elche next weekend, the situation will change dramatically. The Polish goalkeeper will return to the bench and the debate over the Barça goal will be completely closed.
Yes, because Joan García seems to be almost fully recovered and is expected to be available against Elche. If his presence is confirmed, it would be great news for Barça, but very bad news for Ter Stegen. In fact, if this happens, it seems that his departure from Barça will only be a matter of time.
Ter Stegen's future points away from Barça
With Joan García back, Ter Stegen's future points away from Barça. In the Premier League, clubs like Newcastle or Manchester United have shown great interest in acquiring his services. Both are looking for a reliable goalkeeper, with international experience and leadership in the locker room.
Ter Stegen fits that profile and could be a key piece to strengthen any club aiming to compete for titles in England. In addition, that would allow him to accumulate minutes during the second half of the season to go to the World Cup with Germany. We'll see what happens, but Joan García's desired return doesn't leave him with many more options.
