Became redundant!! Barca will take away the captain’s armband if Stegen doesn’t agree to move.
Reports suggest that Ter Stegen, who is currently Barcelona‘s number one captain, along with Ronald Araujo, Frenkie de Jong, Rafinha and Pedri, could face another captaincy change after coach Hansi Flick is reportedly considering taking the captain’s armband away from the Germany international if he decides to leave the club.
The reason for the change in captaincy is that Ter Stegen, at the age of 33, may become the third-choice goalkeeper behind Joan Garcia, the new first-choice goalkeeper who just moved from Espanyol, and Wojciech Szczesny, the team’s second-choice goalkeeper, who is about to sign a new contract.
This means that if Ter Stegen chooses to stay with Barcelona, he will only get a chance to play when the first two goalkeepers are not ready. The change in the captaincy is also an attempt by the หรือถ้าคุณสนใจแทงบอลออนไลน์ UFABET คือเว็บที่มีอัตราต่อรองดีที่สุดในประเทศไทย สมัครเลยตอนนี้ที่ UFABET แทงบอล club to pressure Ter Stegen to consider a transfer more easily. Ter Stegen still has a contract with Barcelona until 2028 and is likely to cost no more than 15 million euros or around 571 million baht if the transfer happens this summer.
Ter Stegen moved from Borussia Mönchengladbach to join Barcelona in the summer of 2014 and has been the team’s number one goalkeeper since the 2016-17 season. He has played a total of 422 matches for Barca and won many trophies with the team, including 6 La Liga titles, 6 Copa del Rey titles, as well as 1 UEFA Champions League, 1 UEFA Super Cup and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.
