Barça's Ter Stegen close to joining Girona on loan – sources

The ESPN FC TV react to Barcelona beating Real Racing Club 2-0 in the Copa del Rey round of 16. (2:34)

Girona are closing in on the signing of Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen on loan until the end of the season, sources told ESPN on Friday.

Ter Stegen, 33, has been replaced as Barça's No. 1 by Joan García and is keen to play regular football to guarantee his place in Germany's squad at the World Cup this summer.

The two clubs are still ironing out the final terms of the loan agreement and the breakdown of who pays what percentage of Ter Stegen's salary — but the player has now given the green light to the move to fellow LaLiga side Girona.

Barcelona to pay 90% of Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s salary at Girona

Marc-Andre ter Stegen is reportedly closing in on a loan move to Girona after losing his place in the starting XI at Barcelona to Joan Garcia.

The goalkeeper is thought to be close to an agreement with Michel’s side to move on loan for the rest of the 2025-26 campaign.

According to Mundo Deportivo, Ter Stegen is currently awaiting permission from Barcelona to travel to Girona and seal the deal. The suggestion is it could even be confirmed before Barca’s next game against Real Sociedad.

One difficulty in agreeing the transfer has been how to handle Ter Stegen’s salary. That now seems to have been resolved, with MD reporting that Barcelona have agreed to pay 90% of his wages while he’s at Girona.

FC Barcelona Captain Ter Stegen Reportedly Agrees To Leave Club

FC Barcelona captain Marc-Andre ter Stegen has agreed to leave the club and join Girona on loan according to SER Catalunya journalist Nil Sola and transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, who both cited anonymous sources.

Romano explained that Barca’s Catalan neighbours are closing in on a deal to sign the German until the end of the current season, with Ter Stegen, who has been with his current employers since 2014, agreeing to head northeast.

There are some details to clarify with Barca regarding the deal, which are most probably related to how his salary will be split.

Yet Girona is hopeful of getting everything completed next week, and the current window closing on January 31 means there is still considerable time to get the transfer over the line.
