Ter Stegen linked to January exit as Man United leads race

German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen could leave FC Barcelona in the January 2026 transfer window as interest grows from Manchester United, Tottenham, and Newcastle United, according to Football Spain. Barcelona had planned to sell Ter Stegen last summer, but his back surgery prevented the move.

The 33-year-old chose to remain at the club, which led to brief tension when he initially declined to sign a medical document for Juan Garcia's registration, but he later agreed and returned as captain. Barcelona is willing to let Ter Stegen depart, either on loan or through a permanent transfer, if his financial demands are met, as the club aims to improve its financial position before the end of the season.

Manchester United is viewed as the leading contender for Ter Stegen, after showing interest last summer. The goalkeeper is reportedly considering a move in January to secure regular playing time and maintain his spot with the German national team for the upcoming World Cup.
