FC Barcelona legend Marc-Andre ter Stegen (34, Germany) will head to AFC Ajax.
Britain’s “Sky Sports” said on July 31 (Korean time) that Ter Stegen left Barcelona’s pre-season training camp at St George’s Park in England as he approached Ajax’s transfer.
Ter Stegen will say goodbye to Barcelona’s squad on August 1 before moving to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. After that, after completing the remaining transfer procedures, including medical tests, the transfer of Ajax on loan will be confirmed.

Barcelona and Ajax have reportedly agreed on a one-season loan move for Ter Stegen. Ter Stegen’s contract with Barcelona is due in June 2028.
Ter Stegen grew up on the Borussia Mönchengladbach youth team. He left Mönchengladbach in 2014 and joined Barcelona.
Ter Stegen appeared in 423 official matches in Barcelona, and was scoreless in 175 matches.

Ter Stegen has won seven Spanish Primera Liga titles, six Copa del Rey titles, one UEFA Champions League title, one FIFA Club World Cup title and one UEFA Super Cup title in Barcelona.
Ter Stegen’s position in the team has decreased significantly since last season.
Barcelona coach Hanji Flick has picked Juan Garcia as the main goalkeeper. Ter Stegen had difficulty getting a chance to play as Wojciech Szczesny became the second option.

Ter Stegen was also temporarily deprived of his captaincy in the process of being at odds with the club. Since then, he has been loaned to Girona in the winter transfer market and has sought a rebound.
The bad luck continued.
Ter Stegen injured his hamstring in his second game at Girona. His participation in the 2026 FIFA North American World Cup was also canceled due to surgery.
Ter Stegen, who has recovered from his injury, will make a major leap forward again at Ajax.
