  "account": "Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen has agreed to a loan move to Ajax for the 2026/27 season, according to Ajax's official statement. The 34-year-old German international, who has been with Barcelona since 2014, has missed significant portions of the past two seasons due to serious injury problems. Ter Stegen's previous stint at Girona ended in February after he suffered a hamstring injury during his second appearance for the club, which left him sidelined for the remainder of the season. The German player was also not selected for Germany's World Cup squad. Despite winning the Champions League and seven La Liga titles with Barcelona, Ter Stegen's contract with the Catalan club remains active until June 2028.",
