Ter Stegen's Ajax Loan Move Nears Completion
2 Jul
Summary
- Ter Stegen is in Barcelona to finalize an Ajax loan deal.
- Ajax will pay only a fraction of the goalkeeper's wages.
- Barcelona is actively working on player exits before preseason.
Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen is reportedly back in the city to finalize a loan transfer to Ajax. The German international is expected to complete his move in the coming hours after reaching an agreement with the Dutch club.
However, a sticking point in the negotiations is Ter Stegen's salary, as Ajax are understood to be willing to pay only a fraction of his current wages. This potential loan move is part of Barcelona's strategy to manage their wage bill ahead of the new season.
The Catalans have already seen several players depart, with Ansu Fati joining Monaco permanently and Inaki Pena moving to Panathinaikos. Andreas Christensen recently signed a new two-year deal with a significant pay cut, further aiding Barcelona's financial planning.
