Lost His Spot at Barcelona. Ter Stegen to Revive Career at Famous Dutch Club

A multiple La Liga winner and former captain of the Catalan giants, he lost his starting spot at Barcelona and joined Girona on loan in January. With the ultimately relegated team, he aimed to regain match fitness after back problems and secure a place at the World Cup.

However, his stint at Girona was cut short after just two matches due to a hamstring injury and subsequent surgery. He remains under contract with Barcelona until 2028.

At Ajax, he would reunite with Spanish coach Míchel. After an unsuccessful season with Girona, Míchel moved to the dugout of the most successful Dutch club, marking his first coaching experience outside his home country.
