Premier League shows interest in Ajax's summer loan of Ter Stegen

Ajax has hired goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen from FC Barcelona for this season; the 34‑year‑old keeper has already kept eight matches in the Eredivisie and will return to his parent club next summer, where his contract runs until mid‑2028.

Barça wants to sell keeper permanently

FC Barcelona is pleased with the loan spell of goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen to Ajax, the Catalan Sport reports on Thursday. The German keeper, who is under contract until mid‑2028, will return to his parent club after this season, where the club would like to achieve a permanent sale. With a sky‑high salary, it is crucial for Barça to be able to offload the 34‑year‑old goalkeeper, while his market value is currently estimated at only three million euros.

Clubwatcher Luis Miguelsanz reports that there is already interest from the Premier League, which increases Barcelona's satisfaction. The English top clubs see the young keeper as a potential reinforcement, despite him having kept only eight matches for Ajax this season. Barça hopes that his market value will rise in the next nine months, making a permanent transfer more attractive.

For Ajax, the scenario of Ter Stegen returning to Amsterdam after one year is no surprise, as the club has long anticipated the temporary agreement. The club continues to focus on other signings while the German keeper prepares for his return to Barcelona.
