Clubs across Europe have taken note of Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s ongoing situation at Barcelona.
It appears the club are ready to part ways with the German international this summer ahead of the potential arrival of Joan Garcia.
Ter Stegen, for his part, is extremely unhappy with Barça and is ready to go to war with the club, in their attempts to force him out of Catalonia.
In the midst of all these speculations, several European clubs are closely tracking Ter Stegen’s future, with Galatasaray emerging as the latest suitor.
Galatasaray interested in ter Stegen
According to Fotomac (h/t Mundo Deportivo), Galatasaray are among the clubs interested in the services of ter Stegen.
The Turkish giants are looking for a new goalkeeper this summer after the long-serving Fernando Muslera announced his departure from the club.

Ter Stegen is seen as an ideal replacement given his vast experience at the highest level of football.
A move to Galatasaray will make sense for the player as well, as the Turkish giants can offer him not only regular game-time but also Champions League football.
Ter Stegen not listening to offers
However, the report adds that Ter Stegen is not listening to any new offers right now and is more keen on resolving his situation at Barcelona.
It is no secret that the Catalans are keen on terminating the German’s contract, to which the player has demanded a payout of €42 million worth of salary.
Until and unless Ter Stegen is clear about his fate at Barcelona, he won’t consider a move to another club.
Galatasaray, however, remain a solid option for the goalkeeper, if he does end up leaving Catalonia this summer.
