Under-fire Barcelona star stands defiant: ‘I will be here next season’ | OneFootball

A transfer-linked member of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Barcelona has this week reiterated his stance that he will be going nowhere this summer.

The player in question? Marc-André ter Stegen.

Goalkeeper Ter Stegen’s future has of course taken its place centre stage in the headlines in Catalunya’s capital over the course of the last week.

This comes amid the understanding that Espanyol standout Joan García’s arrival at Barcelona could push the club’s long-time no.1 out the exit door.

Groups of Blaugrana supporters have even gone as far as to kickstart an online campaign, to convince the Camp Nou brass to sanction Ter Stegen’s sale.

Speaking during a fresh media appearance on Wednesday, it therefore came as little surprise when the ongoing chatter surrounding his name was put to the German international himself.

And, during an interview with ZDF, Ter Stegen remained defiant in assuring:

“I know I will be at Barcelona next season.”
