FC Barcelona goalkeeper Marc-André Ter Stegen has assured that he has no greater goal or motivation than “continue to win titles “as a Blaugrana and who did not want to take” another path “other than to renew with the club.
“I want to play at the Camp Nou for many more years and continue to win titles. There is no greater motivation. I hope very soon to celebrate it again with our fans“He said in statements provided by the club.
Recovered from an injury and subsequent operation on the patellar tendon of the right knee, which spent 78 days in the dry dock, the German has returned to the team and has regained ownership at his “home”. “Barcelona has become my home, and that of my family. Both on and off the pitch, we are happy here. So it was clear which way to go“He opined on the renovation.
Ter Stegen extended the contract until June 30, 2025, with a termination clause set at 500 million euros. In this way, the German goalkeeper will serve more than a decade dressed as a Blaugrana if his new contract ends. “My wish, and also that of Barça, has always been to reach a renewal agreement for continue a story that started in 2014“, he was honest about it.
For Ter Stegen, who on his arrival had to deal with Claudio Bravo for ownership, and who has been an absolute fixture in the goal in recent years, living in Barcelona, in the Gràcia neighborhood, has done nothing but help him adapt to be another 'barceloní'. “It's not just playing for the biggest club in the world, it's more than that. The city and the fans have treated me like one of them from the beginning, and that is important to me. It is a feeling that I will never forget, “he said.
