Barcelona confirms goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen loan to Ajax until 2027

FC Barcelona announced that goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will join AFC Ajax on loan through June 2027.

Barcelona disclosed that German goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will depart on a loan deal to AFC Ajax, lasting until 30 June 2027. The decision followed his return to Barcelona after a short loan at Girona, where the club indicated he no longer fit into the first-team plans. Ter Stegen's agents spent months seeking a permanent transfer, but clubs were unwilling to meet the valuation due to his injury history.

With a permanent move stalled, both parties agreed that a loan would serve the interests of the player and both clubs. The loan was confirmed via statements on Barcelona's official website and social media channels. This marks the latest temporary exit for the former La Liga champion's star keeper.

Why it matters

The move affects Barcelona's squad composition and offers Ajax a high-profile goalkeeper for the next two seasons.
