Barcelona faces challenges finding suitor for ter Stegen amid Ajax financial limits

Summary

Marc-Andre ter Stegen's future at Barcelona complicates the club's summer transfer activities. Recently linked to Ajax, a potential move is hindered as Ajax cannot meet his salary demands, reportedly over €15 million per year. While Ajax's new coach is interested, their budget allows only around €1 million, making a deal unlikely. Barcelona would prefer a permanent solution to avoid ongoing negotiations, but ter Stegen's injury history raises concerns for potential buyers.
