E-Noticies, @mterstegen1 Ter Stegen already has a team to go to the World Cup, goodbye Barça: 'I'm going to...'
The German knows that he is not going to play with Joan García and doesn't rule out leaving in January in search of playing time
The situation regarding FC Barcelona's goalkeeping position continues to make headlines day after day. With Joan García recovering from his injury and projected as the starter, Ter Stegen has been relegated to the background. The German goalkeeper wants to go to the World Cup with Germany, but he knows he needs to play regularly to achieve it. In the Catalan city, it's quite complicated for him.
Ter Stegen has already expressed his concern about this matter. He is aware that changing Flick's mind will be more difficult than seeking a way out. With Joan García as the star signing and undisputed starter, the club will make it easier for the German goalkeeper to leave the blaugrana team in January.
Ter Stegen's future points to the Premier League
In this context, Newcastle has emerged as a real alternative for Ter Stegen. The English club has renewed their interest in the goalkeeper ahead of the January transfer window. According to various reports, Newcastle considers the German a viable option to strengthen their goalkeeping position.
Meanwhile, Barça wants to make it easy for the deal to be finalized, so they will accept the conditions proposed by Newcastle. For Ter Stegen, this is great news, since he knows that with the English team he will be able to get the minutes he won't have at Camp Nou. His move to the Premier League could be what he needs to be drafted with Germany and be a starter at the World Cup.
At Barça, both sporting and financial planning make it necessary as well. With Joan García considered the future number one, Ter Stegen's departure is no longer an option but has become inevitable. At the same time, the player is not willing to be a substitute during the second half of the season and risk his presence at the 2026 World Cup.
Barça wants to finalize Ter Stegen's departure in January
If the deal is finalized, Ter Stegen will head to England to relaunch his career at Newcastle. There, he would find the starting position he no longer has and an important showcase ahead of the next World Cup. Meanwhile, at Camp Nou, Joan García will have a clear path to assert his status and reshape Barça's goalkeeping position.
Ter Stegen has made the decision that many had desired: he will leave Barça behind to play in the World Cup as a starter. The Newcastle option offers him that necessary springboard. In Barcelona, the board already accepts that the time has come to close a chapter.
