Ajax manager aims to sign Barcelona's Ter Stegen this summer

New AFC Ajax manager Michel Sanchez is interested in bringing FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen to Amsterdam. Sanchez, recently appointed after his prior club Girona's relegation, seeks to enhance the goalkeeping position ahead of next season. Ter Stegen, recovering from a hamstring injury, was previously signed on loan by Sanchez at Girona. Currently, he is not part of Barcelona's future plans under manager Hansi Flick, as Joan Garcia is seen as the first-choice goalkeeper. Barcelona remains open to offers for Ter Stegen, who is contracted until 2028 and is considering moves to secure more playing time.
