Barcelona is close to finalizing a deal for Espanyol's goalkeeper, Joan Garcia. With Garcia's potential arrival, it seems that ter Stegen might be the one to make way for him this summer. Instead of veteran goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny, who has been a reliable replacement for ter Stegen during his injury.
Inda said, "Manchester United loves ter Stegen and it would solve a problem for Laporta. They have a problem with their goalkeepers, and it's especially worse with ter Stegen, who is now fit." He also added, "If Joan Garcia comes, there will be a mess. Manchester United might not compete in European competitions without ter Stegen. Maybe if ter Stegen stays in Barcelona, he won't play."
Ter Stegen had recovered from a knee surgery in August and played in Barca's final game of the season. Meanwhile, Szczesny proved to be a reliable replacement for him as Barca won a domestic Treble. Szczesny has a one-plus-one contract offer from Barca, but he is still considering what to do with his family.
