Marc-Andre ter Stegen, 5 more years in “Barcelona” – 500 million euros

The signing of the new agreement took place in the offices of Camp Nou in the presence of the president Joan Laporta and the new sports director of the Portuguese Deco, writes the official website.

Having transferred in 2014 from Borussia Mönchengladbach for 12 million euros, the German is now worth almost three times more.

In nine years at the club, ter Stegen played 379 matches in official matches and can surpass the legendary goalkeeper Ramallets this season (387 matches in a “Barcelona” shirt).

Until the end of the contract, in 2028, the 31-year-old player can become the goalkeeper with the most matches in the history of the Catalans, if he overtakes Subizzareta (410) and Victor Valdes (535).

In the new contract, the German player has a huge release: 500 million euros.

After the announcement of the extension, FC “Barcelona” published a video on social networks with the parades of Marc-Andre ter Stegen.
