Time to Move On? Dietmar Hamann Urgently Advises Ter Stegen to Seek a New Club, Amidst Barcelona Shake-up
Consider Ter Stegen's search for a fresh team: Hamann's recommendation - Proposal Requested for Commission Regarding Directive on a Specific Matter
Get ready for some major changes in Barcelona! Former national player Dietmar Hamann is recommending Marc-André ter Stegen to consider new pastures, in light of potential shifts at FC Barcelona. With whispers of Joan García joining the club from local rivals Espanyol Barcelona, things are heating up as we gear up for next year's World Cup in football!
"There's no escaping it", declares Hamann, in his column for Sky. If Ter Stegen aims to lead the charge as the undisputed number one in the World Cup, Hamann believes he should seriously consider a fresh start. The consequences of a new goalkeeper’s arrival make a departure inevitable, according to the experienced analyst.
Ter Stegen, who joined Barcelona from Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2014 and later became team captain, found himself sidelined last season due to a severe knee injury. Although he staged a remarkable performance in the Nations League third-place match against France, German coach Hansi Flick repeatedly preferred the 35-year-old Wojciech Szczesny in decisive games.
With changing tides in Barcelona, it's no surprise that the club is keen on bringing in new talent. "Financially, it makes perfect sense for FC Barcelona to recruit a new goalkeeper," explains Hamann. Despite the tough situation, Ter Stegen should prioritize securing regular playing time once more.
There are murmurs that Barcelona might be worried about Ter Stegen's salary as well, given his contract runs till mid-2028. The heavily indebted club is sparing no expense to tackle the issue.
Earlier this year, the club encountered issues in registering Dani Olmo due to their precarious financial situation. "The dilemma with Ter Stegen is becoming increasingly complex," states Marca. The signing of Joan García, who reportedly cost Barcelona €25 million, casts a spotlight on the German goalkeeper.

"With the World Cup in football coming up, Ter Stegen, aiming to lead as the undisputed number one, should prioritize regaining regular playing time, a prospect that might be easier to achieve at a new club."
