AS Monaco has directly discussed with Marc-André ter Stegen from FC Barcelona regarding a potential transfer. Ter Stegen faces competition from newcomer Joan Garcia at Barcelona. Additionally, Monaco has been actively seeking a new goalkeeper due to the lack of decisive performances from Philipp Köhn and Radoslav Majecki. The club also explored other options, such as Vanja Milinkovic-Savic and Ugurcan Çakir, but ter Stegen has become a prime target due to his experience and the competitive situation at Barcelona.
