Each Sport: Special Lions are sure that they can compete for the starter, and he plans to stay in the team until at least January next year

According to the Daily Sports, Barcelona is about to usher in a critical moment in deciding the future of Ter Stegen. The goalkeeper is expected to meet with head coach Frick and athletic director Deco on Sunday or next Monday to clarify his situation.

Barcelona made it clear that he will not be recruited to participate unless there is an injury or suspension. However, Ter Stegen insists on his idea: despite the interest of teams in him and willing to pay his salary, he refused to accept a free transfer and intends to stay at the club at least until January next year, when he may choose to leave in order to earn playing time for the next six months and have a chance to compete in the World Cup.

Telstegen stayed away from all speculation throughout the holiday, and he spent his holidays in Greece and Mallorca. He will take part in a physical examination this Sunday and join Barcelona's pre-season training as captain. His plan is to stay in the club and compete for the starting position, as he still has three years of contract and does not intend to give up any rights.

Telstegen believes that if Barcelona were honest from the beginning, other solutions might be found, but no one told him about the decision to sign the new main goalkeeper. What hurt him the most was the leak of information from the club that questioned his behavior in the locker room. He believes this is the club's unscrupulous approach to exerting pressure, so he decided to defend his interests until the last moment.

Currently, Ter Stegen is in good health and is sure that he can compete for the starting position. He firmly believes that he has returned to his best form and is the best of Barcelona's three goalkeepers available. If this is a decision based on competitive level, then eventually he will try to compete, and he thinks there is still a chance to turn the situation around and time will tell.

Barcelona will offer Ter Stegen the option of free transfer or loan departure, because the club's goal is not only to earn income through transfers, but also to save wages and thus increase salary space. But Ter Stegen only accepts a termination plan that pays the remaining three years of contract amount in full, and if he doesn't do so, he will stay at the club 100% until January.

This will be the deadline as Ter Stegen needs to play in order to compete for the World Cup. If the club still firmly supports Joan Garcia, regardless of the latter's performance, he may consider leaving on loan or otherwise, provided that the right team can be found. This will be a six-month window for him to return to the arena and compete for the national team's No. 1 goalkeeper position.

Telstegen has received invitations from Galatasaray and Monaco in the past few weeks, but he has refused the negotiations. Inter Milan and Manchester United are also looking for goalkeepers, and there may be other good opportunities in the market. But no matter what, he didn't think it was time to leave, which would cause huge problems in Barcelona.
