After enjoying almost a full decade of stability, the FC Barcelona goal is undergoing generational changes this summer.
The Catalans have already signed a new player for this position, Joan Garcia, which goes on to show their intent to revamp this position ahead of the next season.After Garcia’s signing, the Blaugranes also did not waste much time before extending the contract of Wojciech Szczesny, whom they had signed in the middle of the last season after Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s serious injury.

Having joined Barcelona back in 2014, he has been the undisputed starter in goal for most of the last decade.
However, now things are changing, and his future at the Catalan club is highly uncertain.In such a context, Fichajes reports that the Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola has set his sights on the experienced goalkeeper.
The former Barcelona coach is quite familiar with the Blaugrana club, and believes the German goalie, with his experience and proven ability with his feet, would perfectly suit his own team.Manchester City would be a good option for the Barcelona goalieWith the situation that Ter Stegen is facing at Barcelona, it should not really be hard for the English club to reach an agreement with the Blaugranes or the player.
In fact, they can get the goalie for a significantly reduced price in this scenario.Playing for a club as big as Manchester City can also maximize Ter Stegen’s chances of being the starting goalkeeper for his German national team in the upcoming World Cup 2026.
But for now, it remains to be seen how this story develops and where the German would be playing next season.
