Te Lion beat Frick, rejected Barcelona s request to leave the team, gave up 6.3 million euros and was unwilling to leave the team

Barcelona's youth storm last season left a deep impression on many fans. The lineup created by Frick made this Barcelona one of the best performing teams in Europe again. Although it failed to enter the Champions League final last season, the age of these players means they still have a lot of room for improvement. Barcelona's lineup adjustments are not very strong. It has concentratedly solved the goalkeeper's problem in the early stage, but as the abandoned goalkeeper's god Ter Stegen has become a "burden" for Barcelona's new lineup.

As the captain of Barcelona and the number one goalkeeper in previous seasons, Ter Stegen has lost the team's main position after returning from injury and returning to Barcelona. The arrival of Szczesny has made the competition for Barcelona's goalkeeper position even more intense. After being injured last season, Barcelona urgently signed Szczesni as a substitute goalkeeper. He performed well when he was ordered in a critical moment, which also won Barcelona's recognition and was eventually renewed. Moreover, Barcelona also signed Espanyol goalkeeper Garcia this summer window, and Ter Stegen's position could not be guaranteed.

Currently, Barcelona players have started pre-season preparations, but as the captain, Ter Stegen did not participate in the team's joint training. Spanish media said that he is undergoing separate training due to back discomfort. Previously, there was news that Flick had made it clear that Ter Stegen was not in his plan, and even if he chose to stay in the team, he could only be the team's No. 3 goalkeeper. This also means that in the next year, it will be difficult for the German goalkeeper to get a stable playing time, and he will not even be able to get a chance to play in the cup.

Telstegen, who has played for Barcelona for 11 years, has three years left for the contract with Barcelona. Barcelona had previously allowed Terstegen to leave the team freely, and was even willing to pay his annual salary of 6.3 million euros as compensation for this, but was rejected by the players. Ter Stegen currently refuses the idea of leaving the team. He is more willing to stay in Barcelona to compete for playing time and hopes to fulfill his existing contract. After all, Te Lions still understands which is higher and lower than 6.3 million euros or 18.9 million euros.

However, choosing to stay in Barcelona means that he needs to "fight" the Barcelona management and Frick, and it will be difficult to get opportunities in the next season. Considering next year's World Cup, if he cannot maintain his form, the position of the national team's goalkeeper will also be affected, which is undoubtedly a huge adventure for Ter Stegen. Of course, as a professional player, there is no problem with Ter Stegen's choice. Both parties need to act according to the contract. It is not necessarily possible to stay in Barcelona, but the possibility is relatively small.
