Barcelona sporting director Deco has confirmed that Marc-André ter Stegen remains the club’s undisputed first-choice goalkeeper, emphasizing the club’s trust in the German shot-stopper.
“Marc-André ter Stegen is and will be Barça’s first GK whenever he’s ready and fit,” Deco stated. “His contract is valid for three more years, we trust him, and we’re not planning to bring in another goalkeeper.”
Ter Stegen, who has been a cornerstone of Barcelona’s defense for nearly a decade, is currently sidelined due to injury. However, Deco’s comments signal the club’s confidence in his abilities and commitment to his role once he returns to full fitness.
The statement also puts to rest any rumors of Barcelona seeking a replacement, solidifying Ter Stegen’s position as a key figure in the team’s plans moving forward.
