Germany Goalkeeper Urged to Seek New Club Despite Recent Return

Barca Management Encourages Departure

The fit-again goalkeeper from Germany is being prompted by the Barcelona management to secure a new team, even after making a playing return in the Copa del Rey this week.

Current Standing at Barcelona

Marc-André ter Stegen continues to hold the position of third-choice goalkeeper at Barcelona, trailing behind both Joan Garcia and Wojciech Szczesny.

Potential Interest from Other Clubs

Aston Villa is reportedly one of the clubs that has inquired about the German player. The Premier League side is reportedly uncertain about the reliability of their current first-choice goalkeeper, Emiliano Martínez, due to ongoing back issues.

In addition to interest from Aston Villa, ter Stegen is attracting attention from teams in both Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

The 33-year-old goalkeeper is under contract with Barcelona until 2028.
