Marc-André Ter Stegen Seals Loan Move to Girona for Rest of Season

He moves to secure regular minutes and strengthen his Germany prospects before the 2026 World Cup after losing Barcelona’s starting job.

Overview

  • Barcelona and Girona announced the short-term deal on Tuesday, after Hansi Flick said Ter Stegen had informed the club of his decision to go.
  • Spanish outlets report Girona will pay roughly 25% of his wages, with Barcelona covering the majority through the end of the season.
  • The loan reportedly includes a clause that prevents him from facing Barcelona during the spell.
  • Ter Stegen posted an emotional farewell after nearly 12 years at Barça, and he remains under contract there until 2028.
  • Joining a Girona side with LaLiga’s weakest defensive record this season, the 33-year-old is set to be first-choice as he seeks match rhythm for national-team consideration.
