Per Sport: Ter Stegen refuses to leave Barcelona unless he pays all the remaining salary in his contract
According to "Personality", Ter Stegen refused to leave Barcelona in any way before the contract expires, unless the club pays all the remaining salary in his contract.
As the preseason is about to begin, Barcelona still has not found a suitable solution in the goalkeeper position. Even though the team has signed Joan Garcia and hopes to reach a deal with Ter Stegen and renew Szczesny, things seem to be getting more and more complicated. The German international made it clear that his contract did not expire until 2028 and he had no intention of leaving. If the club no longer needs him, the club must pay the full remaining salary in his contract. This challenge is very serious for Barcelona, and no one can be sure that there will be a simple solution to this problem.
Telstegen is very dissatisfied with the club, especially with the sports management. He believes he was betrayed because the club never revealed what they already had plans to him, and he believes someone inside the club deliberately leaked information to damage his professional image.
If the club made a frank statement at the end of last season, Ter Stegen might consider negotiating his departure, but now he has decided to hold on. On the one hand, he has a contract. On the other hand, he firmly believes that he will eventually defeat Joan Garcia at the competitive level.
The current situation is that Ter Stegen is expected to return to the team for pre-season training soon. So far, he hasn't spoken to anyone at the club, but he will have a conversation with Frick in mid-July.
Frick will clearly tell him the team's position, and Barcelona hopes he can reconsider, but the news they received shows that Ter Stegen has closed several possible transfer options, which put him in a situation where there is no clear alternative.
Barcelona is willing to let him leave by providing a free transfer, but will not bear the full contract cost. Even considering the possibility of loan, but the only option currently under discussion is to completely fire Ter Stegen, but this is not ideal for the team. The club emphasized that Ter Stegen's problem did not affect Szczesny's contract renewal negotiations, but obviously there are still some problems. Although a preliminary agreement has been reached with the Polish goalkeeper to extend the contract for one year, no documents have been signed.
If Terstegen does not leave, Barcelona's first priority will be to ensure Joan Garcia's registration and then try to keep Szczesny as a last resort to pressure Terstegen.
