Known as a stalwart, German national goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen is pushing back against whispers of him being sold by FC Barcelona. "Nobody spoke to me about it," he said, while also affirming his commitment to the club. "I'll be in Barcelona next year," the 29-year-old promised, despite his contract running until 2028.
Ter Stegen remains unfazed by the shifting landscape within the club. "We've always got top-notch goalkeepers at Barcelona. Competition exists everywhere," he explained during a chat at the German national team's quarters in Herzogenaurach. "I'm really looking forward to the new season. We've got a young, dynamic, and ambitious team," he added, expressing his excitement for the upcoming season.

Inquisitive minds might wonder why the lack of conversation, but ter Stegen seems content with the stride that Barcelona is currently on. Currently, he is aware of two goalkeepers set for the coming season, himself and Inaki Pena (26), with the former Gladbacher intending to impress and maintain his spot on the pitch.
Speaking of his national team, ter Stegen is thrilled to be back in action after recovering from a patellar tendon injury in his knee. Despite his limited playing time, national coach Julian Nagelsmann has ensured him a starting position for the upcoming Nations League final tournament.

Ter Stegen returns to the field Wednesday to play against Portugal, making his comeback with a record 43 international caps after nine months.
