Rumors surrounding Ter Stegen and Barca don't fit Nagelsmann's preferred goalkeeper arrangement. - Barcelona speculation dispels Nagelsmann's squad as a construction site
The talking heads are all abuzz about Marc-André ter Stegen. Seems like the bloke's gonna be back in net for the German national team during the Nations League final tournament. Yet, his future with that Spanish squad, FC Barcelona, remains a murky mess.
A sea of gossipers across Spain claim Barcelona's brass have given the green light for ter Stegen's possible departure. But ol' 33-year-headband hasn't let it faze him, dribbling his way through training in top-notch form. He's back with the national team after almost nine months, ready to tackle Portugal in the semi-final on Wednesday (21:00 CET, tune in to ZDF and DAZN, ya hear?).
Head coach, Julian Nagelsmann, gave us the lowdown on ter Stegen's game plan: "Marc'll be our numero uno. I'm dead sure he'll bring his A-game in both contests." That's right, Nagelsmann's had a friendly chin-wag with Hansi Flick, but kept the Barcelona transfer talk out of it. As for ter Stegen and his potential exit, Nagelsmann ain't sweatin' it: "I've only read about it," he said, "That ain't my headache, and neither's it his."
There's talk aplenty about Barcelona being eager to replace ter Stegen with one Joan Garcia—a 24-year-old gunslinger from local rivals, Espanyol. Word on the street is Garcia's got the chops to take ter Stegen's spot. Of course, Miami City and Bayer Leverkusen are said to be vying for the German goalie, as well.
