Barcelona spent 25 million euros to sign Joan García this summer. A deal until 2031 and he is still 24 years old. This is enough to show their intention. They want to make him their main goalkeeper. 
They have just extended with Szczesny until 2027 as well. They don't want to let him go soon either. I think these things are pointing to only one thing:
- They really want to sell ter Stegen this summer after his recent serious injuries...

Ter Stegen is clearly superfluous in this scheme, since in the short term Barcelona relies on Szczesny + Garcia and Ter Stegen has no chance even in the medium term, let alone the long term, where Garcia is the priority. According to the leaks, Barcelona wants to get rid of him, but he has no intention of leaving at all. I wonder if they will put as much pressure on him as they tried to put on De Jong, he has a contract until 2028, it's quite a long wait (and pay wages
).
