It’s official! Ter Stegen joins new club

Ajax has secured an experienced goalkeeper for the upcoming season.

Details: Amsterdam’s Ajax has officially announced the signing of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen. The German shot-stopper joins the Dutch club on loan from Barcelona.

The agreement runs until the end of the season, after which Ter Stegen is expected to return to the Catalan side—unless both parties agree to extend the cooperation.

For the seasoned keeper, this move presents an opportunity for regular game time, while Ajax adds one of Europe’s most decorated and experienced goalkeepers to their ranks.

Ter Stegen will join his new teammates shortly and begin preparations for official matches with the Amsterdam squad.

One of the key factors behind Ter Stegen’s departure from Barcelona is believed to be his high wages and recurring injuries, which have complicated his relationship with head coach Hansi Flick.

Reminder: Staying put? Ter Stegen returns to Barcelona training
