Marc-André ter Stegen Transfer from FC Barcelona to Ajax
According to Mundo Deportivo, the salary Ajax will pay to Marc-André ter Stegen is dependent on his performances, and the publication reports the exact amount is not yet fixed.

Ajax have reached an agreement in principle to sign Marc-Andre Ter Stegen, a 34-year-old Barcelona goalkeeper, on a season-long loan for the 2026-27 campaign. The Athletic and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano have both confirmed this agreement. The deal is a loan until the end of June 2027 and does not include an option or obligation to buy. Under the terms of the agreement, Barcelona will cover the majority of his wages. His contract with Barcelona runs until 2028, and its size had been a hurdle to the deal. Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is not part of the core tactical plans of Barcelona manager Hansi Flick, as the club recently made Joan García their starting goalkeeper, and Wojciech Szczęsny is also in the pecking order. The player is a top priority for Ajax's manager, Míchel. Ter Stegen and Míchel have an excellent professional relationship from their time together when the player was on loan at Girona during the second half of the 2025–26 season. According to The Athletic, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen is highly motivated to secure guaranteed playing time after an injury-plagued season where a hamstring injury limited his appearances and cost him a spot in Germany's World Cup squad. The deal has been verbally finalized, and the player has given his approval. Official club announcements and the completion of paperwork are expected in the coming days.

Ajax have submitted a formal proposal to sign Marc-Andre ter Stegen on loan, with negotiations progressing from initial interest to an official offer. Barcelona have confirmed receiving the proposal, but discussions are now focused almost entirely on the financial package. Ajax can only afford to cover a small portion of the goalkeeper’s salary, so the two clubs must still reach an agreement on how his wages will be shared. Ter Stegen is open to joining, and a reunion with Michel, who specifically requested his signing, is a significant factor. The sporting project at Ajax is also attractive to Ter Stegen, but the remaining challenge is reaching an agreement on the salary split.

According to Marca, Ajax has doubts regarding the potential transfer of Marc-André ter Stegen. The report from Marca states that one obstacle is his salary demand of fifteen million euros, which the report describes as completely unaffordable for the Dutch club. The maximum amount Ajax could afford is similar to what Girona paid last season, which was one million euros. Marca states that this makes prior negotiations between the parties necessary. The outlet also reports that while it would be logical for Barcelona to almost entirely cover the goalkeeper's salary if he were loaned out again, the club prefers a permanent transfer to avoid such negotiations. Marca also notes that Ter Stegen's physical condition is an additional obstacle. According to the publication, repeated injuries over the past two years have raised doubts at Ajax, and the club does not want to hastily sign a new goalkeeper.
