Clubs Circle Ter Stegen: Bayern, Spurs and Five More Eye Barça's Goalkeeper

Transfer chase around Ter Stegen

A Spanish newspaper report on Wednesday states that six European clubs are keen to sign German international Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Barça's goalkeeper.

Stegen has recovered from the back surgery that kept him out for about five long months.

But it will be hard for the German keeper to reclaim a starting spot with Garcia ahead in the pecking order.

Stegen played as a starter against Guadalajara on Tuesday, in the Round of 32 of the Copa del Rey, a 2-0 Barça victory.

According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, six European clubs are keen to sign Ter Stegen in January next year.

The newspaper notes the clubs as Monaco, Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Besiktas and Bayern Munich.

Although Ter Stegen would prefer to stay at Barcelona, he might leave to get playing time before the 2026 World Cup, and a bigger contract would help.

Punchline: rumor mills run on coffee.

Punchline 2: gloves still win, even in January.
