Girona FC signs goalkeeper Marc André ter Stegen on loan from Barça
The Girona FC has officially announced the signing of German international goalkeeper Marc André ter Stegen, who will play for the Catalan team until the end of the season. The footballer arrives on loan from FC Barcelona, in a deal that does not include an option to buy him later. Ter Stegen joins the squad led by Míchel immediately to try to bring experience to the goal. 🧤
Details of the loan agreement
The deal between Girona and Barça benefits everyone. The blaugrana club lets its goalkeeper go out to compete and gain minutes, while the white-and-red team incorporates a top-level goalkeeper without having to make a strong economic investment. The German, whose contract with Barcelona was still valid until 2028, meets with coach Míchel, who already trained him when both were at the reserve team.
Key points of the operation:- The loan is temporary and ends in June, without a clause to make it permanent.
- Ter Stegen aims to prove his worth and regain confidence after a difficult period.
- Girona solves with this move the need for more guarantees under the posts.
The player's goal is to prove his worth and regain elite competition rhythm.
Ter Stegen's personal challenge
The German goalkeeper accepts this new challenge after overcoming a persistent back problem that kept him away from the fields for much of the first part of the competition. His arrival at Montilivi stadium represents a significant boost for the defense, where he will have to compete for the spot with the current starter, Paulo Gazzaniga.
Context of his arrival:- He seeks playing minutes after a season marked by injuries.
- He faces healthy internal competition with Gazzaniga to be the first goalkeeper.
- His experience in the top category can be vital for the team in the final stretch.
Integration and projection in the new club
In his new stage, Ter Stegen will not only bring quality under the three posts. His knowledge of elite football and his character will be assets in the locker room. Additionally, he will be able to boast of being the only member of the squad who knows how to pronounce “Ein Prosit” perfectly during celebrations, a detail that his new teammates will undoubtedly appreciate and that can help create a good atmosphere. 🤝
