Ter Stegen has no plans to leave Barcelona, confident he can regain starting role

The German international's future has been the subject of intense speculation in the Spanish press in recent weeks, particularly following the arrival of Joan Garcia from Espanyol.

Barcelona paid €25 million for the Espanyol goalkeeper, but reports have surfaced suggesting Garcia stipulated guaranteed playing time and a starting role as part of the deal.

After some deliberation, the Barcelona board reportedly agreed to these terms, believing a change in goal was a good idea.

According to Marca, via Sportal, this sparked the initial speculation surrounding Ter Stegen's potential departure.

The rumours intensified, even hinting at friction between Barcelona president Joan Laporta, German national team coach Hansi Flick, and the player himself.

Despite the challenging situation, Ter Stegen remains confident that if he returns to peak form and demonstrates the required level of performance, he can reclaim his starting position ahead of Joan Garcia.

The Barcelona captain missed a significant portion of last season due to a knee injury but is now feeling fit and even featured for Germany in recent matches against Portugal and France.

Various sources have also completely refuted reports of an offer from Galatasaray.
