"This is the start of a war." Ter Stegen won't leave Barcelona without a fight

Recently, there has been intense speculation about Marc-André ter Stegen's possible departure from Barcelona. But the German goalkeeper has no intention of backing down without a fight.

Details: Earlier reports suggested that if his contract is terminated early, Barcelona is willing to pay the keeper a one-year salary as compensation. However, as Diario Sport highlights, this is not enough for Ter Stegen—he is demanding his full salary for the remaining three years of his contract, which runs until 2028, amounting to €42 million.

The source emphasizes that this is almost the beginning of a guerrilla war, as the goalkeeper's camp didn't even consider the club's offer, and Barcelona is not prepared to meet the player's demands. A transfer to Saudi Arabia is also off the table. Ter Stegen himself believes his performances are not an issue and insists he will return to his top form.

Reminder: During the summer transfer window, Barcelona plans to sign Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García and extend their deal with Wojciech Szczęsny, who has become Ter Stegen's understudy.
