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 
).
).ter Stegen's current salary is 6.3 million euros per year. Not a small amount to pay at all if he stays until the end of his contract.
But I think he wouldn't like to stay where he is not wanted. But there is a more important question here...Will there be any team to be willing to sign him? In Europe I mean. Because of having a serious injury period I think teams would be more hesitant. Worst-case scenario, he would join a Saudi team (which isn't the worst for him though
).He is 33, he can only be a temporary option and it is unlikely that he will sign a contract with such a salary anywhere (in Europe). But I heard that he does not want to leave no matter what, since he considers himself recovered and ready to be number one. It seems that he played all the games after the injury without conceding goals, but he clearly thinks about the current state of affairs and not the future (as Barcelona thinks). I don't think Barcelona will convince him that he needs to leave.
