Barcelona has already made a definitive decision regarding the future of goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen, and it doesn't look good for the German international. According to reports, the La Liga champions have no intention of including him in their plans for the 2026/27 season, leaving his Camp Nou career on shaky ground.

Ter Stegen's situation has become a growing headache for the Blaugrana, despite his long-standing service at the club. The 32-year-old was sent out on loan to Catalan rivals Girona in the January transfer window, hoping to regain form and fitness. However, a serious injury early in his stint at Montilivi derailed the move entirely, leaving both parties disappointed.

While Ter Stegen has remained hopeful of working his way back into the good graces of fellow countryman Hansi Flick—who now manages Barcelona—the writing appears to be on the wall. According to The Athletic, Flick has already moved on: "Ter Stegen is not in Flick's plans for next season," the source confirms.

With two years still remaining on his current contract, the Barcelona hierarchy is now under pressure to find a new suitor for their out-of-favour shot-stopper this summer. For a player who once stood as one of the world's elite goalkeepers, this marks a difficult chapter—and one that could reshape the club's goalkeeping depth heading into future campaigns.
