Two Premier League sides are now interested in Barcelona captain with an uncertain future – Report | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have already completed their first signing of the 2025 summer transfer window, as they signed the Spanish goalkeeper Joan Garcia from RCD Espanyol by activating his €25 million release clause.

The Spaniard was one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga last season, and there is no doubt that this is a very exciting addition to the Blaugrana squad. Being 24 years old, Garcia can defend the Catalan team’s goal for several years to come.

However, his addition does not bode well for the other goalkeepers in the Barcelona squad, as he is going to be the starter, and other, more senior players are going to see their prominence decline.

Ter Stegen facing an uncertain future at Barcelona

This is particularly the case with Marc-Andre ter Stegen, who is going to be the third-placed goalkeeper in the Blaugrana squad next season. However, this is a situation that a player of his stature cannot accept, especially as he wants to play a leading role for Germany in the World Cup next year.

As a result, his future at the Catalan club is highly uncertain, even though the goalie is currently intent on staying and fighting for a starting spot.

Manchester United and Chelsea are now interested in the German

Still, he has no shortage of suitors, as Fichajes reports that two Premier League sides, Manchester United and Chelsea, are increasingly interested in ter Stegen.

The Red Devils have doubts about the performance of their current goalkeeper, Andre Onana, which has pushed them to consider other alternatives for their goal. The German, with his experience and ability with the ball, particularly attracts the interest of the Manchester club.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are also looking for an experienced player to defend their goal, one who can also provide leadership from the back. Ter Stegen could be a goalkeeper who can make Chelsea one of the top teams in Europe once again.

Barcelona are also working for his departure, particularly to lighten their wage bill, and are hoping a good offer arrives. But for now, it remains to be seen where ter Stegen will play for the next season.
