No Talks Between Inter and Barcelona for Ter Stegen This Summer

Rumors about Marc-André ter Stegen moving from Barcelona to Inter Milan are false. There have been no talks between the clubs or the player’s representatives about a transfer.

WHAT IS THE SITUATION?

There were rumors that Inter Milan wanted to bring Marc-André ter Stegen to Serie A. However, there are no discussions between Inter, Barcelona, or Ter Stegen’s side for a transfer this summer. Inter are not talking to the Spanish club or his representatives. This confirms they are not interested in a move.

WHY THE RUMORS STARTED

Barcelona have thought about moving Ter Stegen to clear their wage bill. He has been behind Wojciech Szczesny and Joan Garcia since returning from injury. With the World Cup coming in 2026, he may need regular playing time. Inter’s goalkeeper, Yann Sommer, is a target for Galatasaray, which could make Inter look for a replacement. But at this time, they are not talking to Ter Stegen.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

For now, Ter Stegen is still with Barcelona. Even though his future is unclear, he wants to stay. But his high salary is an issue as Barcelona need to sell players to comply with financial rules. Barcelona has been fined €15 million by UEFA for breaching FFP regulations, which complicates their ability to manage wages and transfers effectively. Inter Milan are not looking for a goalkeeper as they prepare for their new season. Their next match is a preseason friendly, while Barcelona plays their first game in mid-August. The situation might change if the clubs’ plans for goalkeepers shift, but no transfer is expected now.
