According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona are preparing to remove Marc-André ter Stegen from his role as one of the club’s captains. The decision reportedly has the backing of both the coaching staff and the club’s board.
The move is said to be based on a combination of factors, including concerns about the German goalkeeper’s attitude, recent injury issues, and a growing sentiment within the club hierarchy that he is no longer the right figure to hold a leadership position in the current squad.
While the final announcement has not yet been made, sources suggest the decision is unanimous among those in charge at Camp Nou, marking a significant shift in the team’s leadership structure.
Ter Stegen has served as a captain in recent seasons and is one of the most senior figures in the dressing room, having joined the club in 2014. His potential removal as captain could open the door for a new leadership group under head coach Hansi Flick.
