Barcelona captain very angry over his current situation, seeks meeting with Flick, Laporta | OneFootball

Barcelona could officially sign their goalkeeper for the next ten years tomorrow as the club prepare to trigger the release clause of Joan Garcia and lure him from Espanyol.

The situation, however, is anything but pretty on their side of Catalonia especially with the Marc-Andre ter Stegen situation blowing up out of control.

The German goalkeeper, long seen as an untouchable figure in the team, is now being ousted from his post and he clearly has not taken the developments well.

Landed in Barcelona in anger

As relayed in a recent report by AS, Ter Stegen landed in Barcelona on Sunday after completing his duty with the German national team where he made a strong statement with his performances.

The report adds that the goalkeeper arrived in a furious mood and wants to meet with Hansi Flick and Joan Laporta to express his displeasure over how the saga has been handled and how it is an open campaign against him.

Barcelona have indeed not handled the Ter Stegen as well as they could have, but the fact remains that it was long coming and not completely unexpected after how he allegedly expressed his sense of entitlement ahead of the Inter Milan game.

The 33-year-old club captain continues to cite his contract with the club, his performance in recent days and his long CV as the team’s first-choice goalkeeper as his case to stay and fight for minutes.

While it is certainly a possibility, the club hope the FIFA World Cup factor pushes him to leave for a lack of regular minutes could see him lose his starting place in the national team.

With both parties firm on their demands, the saga is set to run deep into the transfer window. Only time will tell the outcome of the German situation.
