The future of German goalkeeper Ter Stegen with Barcelona remains uncertain, amidst rising speculation about the possibility of his departure during the summer transfer window, especially after the club signed Juan Garcia from Espanyol and is close to renewing the contract of Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny.

Despite Ter Stegen's repeated statements confirming his desire to continue with the Blaugrana, his name still tops the list of players likely to leave this summer.

Spanish newspaper "Sport" revealed that Turkish club Galatasaray has shown official interest in acquiring Ter Stegen's services and has opened communication with Barcelona to inquire about the terms of a potential deal.

The Turkish club is looking for a new goalkeeper to lead the starting lineup next season, with the imminent departure of Fernando Muslera, and sees Ter Stegen as a suitable option. However, the main obstacle lies in Galatasaray's desire to sign the goalkeeper for free after mutually terminating his contract.

Although this option is still not finalized, it could be seen as a solution to alleviate Barcelona's financial burden, especially given Ter Stegen's increasing salary over the next three years of his contract.
