Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia is close to a move to Camp Nou. And is likely to replace Ter Stegen, who missed a significant chunk of last season through injury and lost his place in the starting line-up to Wojciech Szczesny in Hansi Flick’s side.
Barcelona president Joan Laporta is claimed to have informed members of the board that the club must sell Ter Stegen, 33, immediately upon Garcia’s arrival.

Sporting director Deco will explain Barcelona’s position to Ter Stegen and his coaching staff in the near future. And the club wants an amicable result for all parties involved.

plan to make it clear with the veteran goalkeeper that Garcia will be Flick’s first-choice, with Szczesny an alternative.

Ter Stegen is reportedly ‘very angry’ and believes his situation is more of a personal one than a sporting one. He has also reportedly personally blamed both Deco and Flick.
