World-Type: The Lions return to the team three days early, and the dialogue with Frick will determine his role in the new season

According to World Sports, Barcelona goalkeeper Ter Stegen arrived at Gambo Sports City at 11:06 local time, three days earlier than the original time. Barcelona will have a physical examination this Sunday and start training next Monday, but Ter Stegen obviously doesn't want to continue waiting.

At the club training ground, he met Joan Garcia, who had just joined, who had already started training on Tuesday. Also appearing in Gambo Sports City are goalkeeper coach Josep Ramon de La Fuente and Frick's assistant Tapalovic. Frick is expected to arrive in Barcelona today. Considering that some of his team has returned to training, it is not ruled out that he will return to the club in advance.

In any case, Frick's meeting with Ter Stegen will be of great concern as it will determine Ter Stegen's role in the new season. On Tuesday, Barcelona announced a renewal of their contract with Szczesni until 2027, further confirming the club's trust in Joan Garcia and Szczesni, while Ter Stegen was excluded.

However, the 33-year-old goalkeeper does not intend to leave this summer, and his contract will last until 2028. Ter Stegen is the starting goalkeeper of the German national team in Nagelsmann's 2026 World Cup, but this requires him to maintain a continuous appearance this season, which is unlikely to happen in Barcelona.
