Ter Stegen's Move to Ajax Hangs in the Balance as Talks Stall

Marc-André ter Stegen's potential transfer from Barcelona to Ajax is at serious risk of collapsing. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, negotiations between the clubs have hit a dead end in the final stretch. The issue goes beyond tax complications. The two sides failed to agree on how to split the German goalkeeper's salary, throwing the whole deal into doubt. Just days ago, an agreement seemed within reach, but now the situation looks fragile. Despite the uncertainty, ter Stegen remains with Barcelona's squad for preseason training. However, the expectation is that he will leave Camp Nou this summer. Ter Stegen has been at Barcelona since 2014. He spent the second half of the 2025/26 season on loan at Girona, where an injury limited him to just two appearances.
