Aston Villa wants to sign Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen
The future of Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen remains uncertain, despite his contract running until 2028.
Details: According to Mundo Deportivo, this uncertainty has sparked interest from several clubs in ter Stegen. One of the frontrunners is Aston Villa. The English side is closely monitoring the German keeper’s situation, especially due to ongoing back issues for their first-choice goalkeeper Emiliano Martínez, as well as the tense atmosphere surrounding the Argentine after a failed summer transfer.
Reports indicate that Barcelona’s head coach Hansi Flick has made it clear on several occasions that Joan García is currently the club’s number one, complicating the position of the German shot-stopper. Ter Stegen needs regular game time to maintain his chances of being Germany’s first-choice goalkeeper under Julian Nagelsmann at the 2026 World Cup.
It is noted that ter Stegen has fully recovered from his lower back injury, confirmed by his appearance in the Copa del Rey match against Guadalajara. In addition to Aston Villa, clubs from Turkey and Saudi Arabia, as well as Girona—who are seeking a replacement for Dominik Livaković ahead of the winter transfer window—remain interested in the German keeper.
Recall: Atlético legend Paulo Futre believes that Barcelona winger Yamal needs to find a girlfriend as soon as possible to become the best in the world.
