FC Barcelona is preparing to return to training next week, and there are no indications that goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will leave during the current winter transfer window, according to the Spanish newspaper "Sport."

The goalkeeper insists on continuing despite limited appearances, while the club believes that any loan could help reduce the wage bill. However, matters remain unresolved until mid-January.

Ter Stegen is committed to his contract with the club until 2028 and refuses to change his stance unless a major club offers him a deal that guarantees him a starting position. The European market has not presented him with sufficient opportunities, and even offers like Girona's did not satisfy him from a sporting perspective, despite their proximity to his family, which currently keeps this option on hold.

Barcelona confirmed that it will not pressure the goalkeeper, respecting his role and leadership of the team, and will only intervene if he requests to leave, whether on loan or through a transfer, with the possibility of granting him full freedom, but they will not reduce his current salary.

Things are expected to become clearer after the Spanish Super Cup, where Juan Garcia will be the starting goalkeeper, while Ter Stegen will remain as a backup, competing for his position with Szczesny in upcoming tournaments. Currently, there have been no significant foreign offers, the most notable being from Tottenham, with the player rejecting any offers from less traditional leagues such as Turkey.

The report emphasizes that Barcelona is not closing the door on Ter Stegen's continued presence in the team, especially as a reliable option to cover any absence or suspension of Juan Garcia. Meanwhile, next summer will be crucial in determining the future of the German goalkeeper and the manner of his departure from the club.
