German football veteran Dietmar Hamann whispers awarning in Marc-André ter Stegen's ear: Brace yourself for a new club hunt, strategies for the impending FIFA World Cup. If Barcelona seals Joan Garcia's signing from frenemies Espanyol Barcelona, according to the scuttlebutt of Spanish media.
Hamann's Frank Advice
Ter Stegen's impressive performance against France in the Nations League's third-place bout doesn't guarantee his indomitable status in the upcoming global fest. Hamann recommends him to kickstart the hunt for a new club on pay-TV channel Sky. "Get the hungry eyes scan the landscape, mate, catch a fresh net if a new goalie's swooping in. It ain't no funny business!"
In 2014, ter Stegen made a splashy debut at Barcelona, joining from Borussia Mönchengladbach. Although he rocked the captain's armband, injuries brought him down, missing significant chunks of last season. Despite his setbacks, German coach Hansi Flickitudinously opted for Wojciech Szczesny, a Barcelona newbie, in crunch matches.
Barcelona's Monetary Blow
The sensible Catalans would want a new goalkeeper, Hamann asserts. "Tough break for ter Stegen after his recovery, but it's all about regular play for the tenacious chap."
Ter Stegen's contract with the cash-strapped Barcelona remains valid for three more years. Barcelona's sporting director Deco offers him the choice to stay put or jettison ship. Barcelona, still groaning under a mountain of debt, frets about ter Stegen's hefty salary, which he'd continue to bankroll until mid-2028.
Earlier this year, Barcelona grumbled when registering erstwhile Bundesliga player Dani Olmo due to financial woes. "Solving ter Stegen's problem is getting trickier by the day," quips Marca, with the purported closure of Joan Garcia's deal.
