Ajax seeks loan for ter Stegen; salary negotiations with Barcelona ongoing

Barcelona and Ajax are in discussions regarding a potential loan for goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen for the 2026-27 season. Ajax's new manager Michel is interested in bringing ter Stegen to Amsterdam. However, the clubs are facing challenges due to ter Stegen's salary demands. Ajax can only cover 10% to 15% of his wages, which may require Barcelona to subsidize a significant amount, potentially around €15 million. This loan situation mirrors last year's incident when ter Stegen joined Girona on loan but was sidelined by injury for the rest of the season.
