Barca’s Ter Stegen joins Ajax on loan

Published Updated

BARCELONA: Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen joined Ajax on loan for the 2026/27 season on Tuesday.

“Ajax has reached an agreement with Barcelona and Marc ter Stegen,” said the Dutch club in a statement.

The 34-year-old, who has been at Barcelona since 2014, has missed much of the last two seasons with serious injury issues.

With Joan Garcia established as Barca’s number one, the Catalans loaned Ter Stegen to Girona in January but in February he suffered a hamstring injury on his second appearance, ruling him out for the rest of the campaign.
