FC Barcelona is already mapping out its strategy for the upcoming transfer window and, while aiming to strengthen its attack with the potential signing of Luis Díaz, it is also preparing for a major departure: Marc-André ter Stegen. The club has made bold decisions to renew its squad, setting the stage for a hectic summer in Catalonia.

Although Nico Williams was strongly linked to the club in recent weeks, Barça has now shifted its focus toward the Colombian winger Luis Díaz, currently at Liverpool. At 28, Díaz is seen as the ideal partner for Lamine Yamal in the new project led by Hansi Flick, a coach who has made it clear he wants dynamic players with international experience.

Interest in Luis Díaz has ramped up recently, and sources close to the player are not ruling out a move—especially if the Reds need to sell to fund new signings. While the deal won’t be easy, the player's desire and Barça’s persistence could work in the Catalan club’s favor.

Leaving Barcelona? These Are the Clubs Eyeing Ter Stegen

Meanwhile, Marc-André ter Stegen’s future at Barcelona hangs by a thread. The imminent arrival of young goalkeeper Joan Garcia, who is expected to take over the starting role, leaves the German with no clear place in the squad. The club has reportedly informed him that even a spot on the bench is not guaranteed.

Two European clubs have already shown interest in the veteran keeper: Manchester United and Galatasaray. The English side, undergoing a rebuild after a disappointing season, is seeking an alternative to André Onana, while the Turkish giants are looking to replace Fernando Muslera, who recently ended his long tenure in Istanbul.

Although Barça would be open to letting him go on a free transfer, Ter Stegen’s exit won’t be straightforward. The goalkeeper is not willing to forgo the €40+ million net salary included in his contract, which runs until 2028. Furthermore, his camp feels betrayed by how the situation has been handled—without prior notice and with damaging leaks to the press.

Tensions with Hansi Flick, who previously favored Manuel Neuer during his time with the German national team, also play a role in the potential split. Add to that Ter Stegen's frustration at being sidelined in the Champions League semifinals and his choice not to travel with the team, and all signs point to his chapter at Barcelona coming to an end.
