Manchester United plans bid for Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen amid Premier League interest

Marc-André ter Stegen, the 33-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper, is attracting significant interest from Premier League clubs including Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Newcastle United, due to his uncertain future at Barcelona. Despite being under contract until 2028, Barcelona's confidence in new signing Joan García and Wojciech Szczęsny has limited Ter Stegen’s prospects for playing time, prompting him to consider a loan or permanent move to secure first-team football ahead of the 2026 World Cup. Ter Stegen is currently recovering from back surgery and is expected to be fit by the end of November, but Barcelona will only negotiate a transfer if the player consents. His experience and record of 422 matches with 175 clean sheets for Barcelona make him a valuable target, with clubs also considering loan deals with options to buy. The German international has the final say on his future, though all parties appear open to a move during the January transfer window. Meanwhile, Manchester United have shown particular interest in signing a high-profile goalkeeper, especially after recent uncertainty in that position at the club.
