The report adds that Szczesny remains ahead of Ter Stegen in the pecking order at Barcelona, and the Germany international has been told by Flick “if he stays, he’ll have very few chances to play.”
Ter Stegen is also back to full fitness after undergoing back surgery in the summer but his future at the club remains uncertain.
Ter Stegen is thought to be eager to stay but is facing spending the rest of the season on the bench if he does not move on in the January transfer window.
With the World Cup looming, it’s not the place he wants to be and means he may have little choice but to move on if he wants to be Germany’s first choice at next summer’s tournament.
