World Sports: Garcia + Szczesny form the Barcelona goalkeeper combination, Ter Stegen needs to find another way out

The latest news from "World Sports" is that Barcelona has clarified the goalkeeper configuration in the 2025-26 season.

Espanyol goalkeeper Joan Garcia has agreed to join Barcelona, ​​and Szczesni's contract renewal will be officially announced in the near future. Although Ter Stegen believes that he can continue to compete for the main position, Barcelona hopes to reform the goalkeeper position to rejuvenate, just like replacing Valdes with the Little Lion in 2014.

Frick's idea has been fully supported by Barcelona's board of directors and management. Garcia, 24, will become Barcelona's new goalkeeper, and he has accepted Barcelona's invitation. Once the transfer is officially announced, Barcelona will pay a 25 million euro termination fee, completing this signing that is crucial to the lineup planning next season.

Barcelona has a very clear choice for the goalkeeper position, that is, a double insurance consisting of young Garcia and experienced Szczesny (35 years old). In addition, the team also plans to select a goalkeeper from its own youth training camp as the third choice.

Barcelona is looking forward to announcing Garcia's joining news soon, and the matter of Szczesni's one-year contract renewal with the one-year option may also be finalized within a few days. Poland has confirmed Szczesny's willingness to stay in the team, and World Sports has also confirmed this.

Flick is satisfied with Szczesni's performance on and off the court and hopes that he can continue to stay in Barcelona. The Szczesni family has decided to postpone his retirement period. The whole family loves living in Catalonia, which is also the second home for Lewandowski and his family.

In view of this, Barcelona executives believe that with the presence of Szczesny, the team already has enough veterans to support the team in the goalkeeper position. Therefore, Ter Stegen's future in Barcelona is not clear.

Barcelona hopes to open a new era of goalkeepers, and it has been 11 years since Ter Stegen took over Valdes.

Although Ter Stegen believes that he has the ability to continue to be the main player of Barcelona, ​​the club does not think so. Frick, the Board of Directors and the Management Office all share the same view.

If Ter Stegen also wants to be the starting goalkeeper of Germany at the 2026 World Cup, he needs to find new ways out to ensure the necessary game opportunities.
