Barcelona star with 422 appearances offered to Manchester United by his agents

Barcelona are gearing up for a pivotal summer transfer window, with the Catalan giants determined to strengthen their squad ahead of the 2025-26 season. Under Hansi Flick’s guidance, the club has prioritized reinforcing the goalkeeping position, and Espanyol’s Joan Garcia is set to join his club’s local rivals. However, this ambitious move could signal the end of an era for club captain Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.

Barcelona have already made formal steps to secure Garcia’s signature, bringing the young shot-stopper’s arrival closer than ever. The 24-year-old has impressed at Espanyol, and the Catalan club sees him as their first-choice goalkeeper. To facilitate this transition, Barcelona appear prepared to part ways with Ter Stegen, whose potential departure has been a hot topic in recent weeks.

The Catalans’s goalkeeping overhaul doesn’t stop with Garcia. The club is keen on retaining Wojciech Szczesny as a reliable back-up, further signaling that Ter Stegen’s days at the Camp Nou may be numbered. The coming weeks will be pivotal, as the Catalan giants push to finalize their plans.

Ter Stegen, who signed a contract extension with Barcelona until 2028, prefers to stay with the club, where he has made 422 appearances. However, according to a recent report from TBR Football, his agents are exploring options amid uncertainty over his role at the club and the 33-year-old German goalkeeper has been offered to Manchester United.

Ter Stegen’s representatives have also approached other Premier League clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester City, Newcastle United, and Aston Villa, all of which are reportedly considering goalkeeper changes this summer.

Furthermore, interest from Saudi Arabia is still there, and Turkish side Galatasaray is also monitoring the situation. However, no formal talks have emerged yet.

Speculation has also swirled around Manchester United’s goalkeeping situation, with TBR Football suggesting the Red Devils might consider selling Andre Onana. Should Onana depart, Ter Stegen could emerge as a viable option for the Red Devils, potentially paving the way for a high-profile move to Old Trafford.

As Barcelona focus on reshaping their squad, all eyes will be on how this goalkeeping saga unfolds. Will Ter Stegen stay and fight for his place, or is a new chapter awaiting the Barcelona captain elsewhere? Stay tuned for more updates as the transfer window heats up.
