Barcelona line up new goalkeeper target but Marc-Andre ter Stegen puzzle remains unresolved

The most complex issue facing manager Hansi Flick involves Ter Stegen. Currently on loan at Girona for the rest of the season, the veteran’s decade-long reign as the undisputed starter is over. Despite holding a contract until 2028, the hierarchy have decided his time at the top level has concluded. Finding a permanent exit for a keeper with a history of physical problems is proving challenging, though. He historically struggled with being a backup, famously issuing an ultimatum in 2016 to start ahead of Claudio Bravo. However, relations have thawed since last summer's friction, and Barcelona are hoping an offer comes in for him if he refuses to accept a secondary role.
