As: Frick has informed Ter Stegen that he will serve as the third goalkeeper if he stays in Barcelona

According to Spanish "As", Barcelona coach Frick has informed Ter Stegen that if he chooses to stay in Barcelona, the new season will start with serving as the third goalkeeper. According to the report, Ter Stegen became the absolute protagonist on the first day of Barcelona's pre-season training. The German goalkeeper stayed in the gym and did not enter the No. 1 venue in Sports City like his teammates. The club released a brief statement saying the first captain was “training alone in the gym.”

Barcelona is trying to find a way out for Ter Stegen after signing Joan Garcia, and Ter Stegen also met with coach Flick last week, and the two sides confirmed their differences - so the German international decided not to practice, which makes people think that a tug-of-war has begun and it is difficult to see a resolution at the moment.

Obviously, four goalkeepers cannot be retained in the Barcelona first team. Therefore, the management team has listed Ter Stegen and Inijaki Penia as abandoned players, and instead favored Joan Garcia, who paid 25 million euros to terminate the contract this summer, and Szczesny, who has renewed his contract until 2027. However, Ter Stegen made it clear from the outset that he intends to stay at the club and compete with other goalkeepers for the main position, although Flick has informed him that he will be placed in the third goalkeeper’s position.
