The Spanish newspaper "Mundo Deportivo" revealed that German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen has returned to Barcelona's training sessions, fully focused on continuing with the club, stating that he sees himself more likely to stay than to leave in the near future.

According to the newspaper, Ter Stegen does not feel excluded from the team's plans, especially after his participation in the Copa del Rey match against Guadalajara, at a time when the main role was expected to be given to the Polish goalkeeper Szczęsny. This strengthened the German captain's confidence in his ability to compete.

The newspaper pointed out that Ter Stegen is under contract with Barcelona until 2028, having renewed it in October 2023, and he is not considering giving it up at the moment, especially since he agreed during the renewal to defer part of his salary to help the club register players.

The newspaper added that the sports scene is not easy, given the brilliance of Juan Garcia, who is the first choice for coach Hans Flick in La Liga and the Champions League. However, Ter Stegen does not give up and aims to continue getting playing time in the Copa del Rey. He also remains determined to participate in the Spanish Super Cup, scheduled to be held in Saudi Arabia, with the goal of competing for the season's first titles.

Regarding his future, the newspaper explained that the German goalkeeper prefers to stay at Barcelona rather than accept a secondary role at another club, and he will only leave if it is to play regularly, especially given his ambition to participate in the World Cup.

The newspaper confirmed that the club's economic situation complicates any potential move, as terminating Ter Stegen's contract would affect the financial fair play regulations. Additionally, the option of a loan would require Barcelona to cover a significant portion of his salary, while the option of transferring to the Saudi league has recently lost some of its appeal.

The report indicated that the case of Stegen is likely to continue in the upcoming period, given the player's calm stance and focus on competing, while awaiting the developments of the transfer market.
