Ajax pursue Marc-Andre ter Stegen amid salary concerns

Summary

Ajax is considering a move for Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen as his future at Camp Nou seems uncertain. After a challenging loan at Girona, ter Stegen is set to return to Barcelona, where he faces stiff competition for his position. Ajax's interest is fueled by a potential reunion with former Girona manager Michel, who previously helped bring ter Stegen to Girona. However, Ajax faces significant hurdles due to ter Stegen's high salary, which exceeds their usual wage limits. The situation may require Barcelona to subsidize his wages or negotiate a salary reduction from the player before any deal can be reached.
