The club reported that Ter Stegen trained alone in the gym.\n\nThe international German did not participate in either of the two sessions on Tuesday, according to the club.\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Barcelona: Could Garcia force Ter Stegen&#8217;s departure?<\/li>\n<li>Reports: Spanish agencies want to investigate Yamal&#8217;s party<\/li>\n<li>LaLiga 2025-26 Calendar: The most important matches and the dates of the Cl\u00e1sico<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\nBar\u00e7a will travel to Asia next week for pre-season friendlies in Japan and South Korea. A source close to the club indicates that it has not yet been decided whether Ter Stegen will travel with the team.\n\nTer Stegen, 33 years old, arrived at Bar\u00e7a in 2014 and has been the undisputed starting goalkeeper since 2016, after Claudio Bravo&#8217;s transfer to Manchester City.\n\nHowever, he has dropped in the hierarchical order this summer after the signing of Joan Garc\u00eda from Espanyol for 25 million euros.\n\nSources close to the club have revealed that Ter Stegen has been asked to leave, but so far he has expressed his desire to stay.\n\nThe club hopes he can change his mind once it becomes clear that he won&#8217;t play, as he needs to have regular playing minutes ahead of next summer&#8217;s World Cup, where he hopes to be Germany&#8217;s starting goalkeeper.\n\nBar\u00e7a&#8217;s plan is for Garc\u00eda to be backed by Wojciech Szcz\u0119sny, who recently signed a new two-year contract with the club.\n\nSzcz\u0119sny came out of retirement last summer to sign for Bar\u00e7a when Ter Stegen suffered a serious knee injury at the end of September.\n\nTer Stegen returned for the last weeks of the season, playing two matches, but Szcz\u0119sny kept his position for the important matches.\n\nGarc\u00eda and Szcz\u0119sny have participated in the Bar\u00e7a sessions this week, as has I\u00f1aki Pe\u00f1a.\n\nPe\u00f1a was previously Ter Stegen&#8217;s number 2 and initially took his place in the team last season before being displaced by Szcz\u0119sny.\n\nSources have confirmed that Pe\u00f1a is open to a new challenge outside of Bar\u00e7a in search of regular playing time.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ter Stegen Trains Alone: Uncertainty at Barcelona The Barcelona goalkeeper, Marc-Andr\u00e9 ter Stegen, has been training on his own since the team&#8217;s return to pre-season on Sunday, amid uncertainty about his future.
