JAKARTA - Goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen turned down an offer from Monaco. However Ter Stegen still wants to leave Barcelona because it is no longer his first choice.
Ter Stegen, the irreplaceable goalkeeper at Barca, will eventually step down. Coach Hansi Flick no longer makes Barca captain the main goalkeeper.
The signal for the elimination of Germany's number one goalkeeper was seen when he remained unplayed after recovering from an injury that made Ter Stegen rest for a long time.
Veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny who was brought in to replace Ter Stegen remains the first choice.
When his contract term ends soon, Barca intends to extend Szczesny's contract until 2027. Furthermore, Barca brought in goalkeeper Espanyol Joan Garcia.
The purchase of Joan Garcia shows that Ter Stegen must be ready to become the second goalkeeper. Because Joan Garcia is the first choice.
Szczesny himself has no problem if he becomes the cover for Joan Garcia. This is what makes Barca will release Ter Stegen because they have already got a replacement
Moreover, the 33-year-old goalkeeper's high salary makes the Spanish La Liga giant hope to sell him. But if he chooses to stay, according to Sports Mole, he will share his duties with Szczesny. That too if Ter Stegen is willing, his salary will be cut by the Blaugrana.
Goalkeeper who has won La Liga six times and once won the Champions League is actually not without interest. At least, Manchester United are very interested in recruiting Ter Stegen to replace Andre Onana.
Apart from Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City are hunting for Ter Stegen. Only all English Premier League clubs have made an official offer to Barca.
