Ajax's New Coach Michel Eyeing Barcelona's Ter Stegen for Summer Transfer

Barcelona's goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen could be on the move to Ajax this summer, reuniting with his former Girona manager, Michel. Ter Stegen had a brief stint under Michel last season, but his campaign was cut short due to a severe injury, which also kept him from participating in the 2026 World Cup.

According to a report from Mundo Deportivo, Michel is keen on bringing Ter Stegen to Ajax after stepping in as head coach of the Dutch club. Following the conclusion of his loan at Girona, the German goalkeeper is exploring potential opportunities outside Spain and is reportedly open to a switch abroad.

The situation is further complicated by the presence of Jordi Cruyff at Ajax, which could facilitate a transfer for the experienced shot-stopper. Barcelona, meanwhile, is looking to relieve their wage burden and has indicated that Ter Stegen is not part of their future plans, especially after the addition of Joan Garcia to their roster.

With the summer transfer window approaching, all eyes will be on whether this potential move to Ajax materializes.
