FC Barcelona and goalkeeper Marc Andre ter Stegen have reached an agreement to extend his contract until June 30, 2028. The buy out clause is set at 500 million Euros.
The event for the contract extension took place on Friday, August 25 in the Spotify Camp Nou offices with president Joan Laporta, first vice president Rafa Yuste, economic vice president Eduard Romeu, board member Joan Soler and sporting director Anderson Luis de Souza ‘Deco’.
As such, the German goalkeeper extends his ties to Barça and is set to continue his excellent career as a culer. Ter Stegen came to the Club in May 2014 from Borussia Mönchengladbach and this season is his tenth with the Club.
Ter Stegen’s debut came back in September 2014 in a UEFA Champions League game against APOEL Nicosia and up to now he has now made 379 official appearances for Barça.
That figure placed him in fourth place on the all time list of appearances for Barça goalkeepers. This season he could well move past Ramallets who is on 387. With his contract extended to 2028 Ter Stegen also has Zubizarreta on 410 matches and record holder Víctor Valdés on 535 in his sights.
In his near decade with the blaugranes Ter Stegen has an enviable list of honours: 5 league titles, 5 Copas del Rey, 1 UEFA Champions League, 3 Spanish Super Cups, 1 European Super Cup and 1 FIFA Club World Cup.
Marc Andre Ter Stegen said, “I hope over the next five years we can win more trophies!”
