The head coach of FC Barcelona, Hans Flick, is preparing for a crucial meeting with German goalkeeper Andre Ter Stegen in July, to determine the player's future with the team ahead of the new 2025/2026 season.

According to reports from the Spanish newspaper "AS", this anticipated meeting comes amid doubts about Stegen's continuation, especially after Barcelona signed young goalkeeper Juan Garcia from Espanyol, having paid the €25 million release clause in his contract, with a deal extending until 2031.

According to reports, Flick plans to rely on Garcia as the starting goalkeeper from next season, especially since the player stipulated a guarantee of regular participation before finalizing his transfer to the Catalan team.

Barcelona currently has Juan Garcia, Ter Stegen, and Wojciech Szczęsny on its goalkeeping roster, with Szczęsny having performed well since joining last season, while Stegen is keen on retaining his starting position to prepare adequately for the 2026 World Cup with the German national team.
