Jurgen Klopp, the head coach of Germany, may soon consider Barcelona's Marc-Andre ter Stegen as the nation's starting goalkeeper, according to a report by Sport BILD. Ter Stegen, who has been on the move between loan deals since leaving Barcelona, has seen his status fall due to injury and the return of Manuel Neuer. However, with Klopp at the helm, Ter Stegen could see a resurgence.
The report states that Klopp has personally reached out to Ter Stegen, expressing his desire for him to be the team's number one goalkeeper. This move would be a significant turnaround for the goalkeeper, who has been absent from football due to injury for the past 12 months and didn't even feature in Barcelona's plans.
Ter Stegen, who has 44 caps for Germany, brings invaluable experience to the table. With this potential move, Barcelona may see an increase in Ter Stegen's value, as performing on the international stage would shine a spotlight on him. Ter Stegen's contract with Barcelona extends until 2028, giving the club ample time to monitor his performance at both Barcelona and Ajax, where he has had a mixed start with 11 goals conceded in seven matches.
Both Barcelona and Ajax are hopeful for an improvement in Ter Stegen's performances as the season unfolds.
