Ajax complete Marc-André Ter Stegen loan signing from Barcelona
Ajax have completed the season-long loan signing of Marc-André ter Stegen from Barcelona after resolving delays that held up the transfer.
Ajax have officially unveiled Marc-André ter Stegen as their newest signing, completing a season-long loan move from Barcelona.
The transfer had been agreed weeks earlier but was delayed by tax-related issues before all parties reached a solution.
The 34-year-old Germany international is expected to become Ajax’s first-choice goalkeeper after arriving with an impressive pedigree.
He made 423 appearances for Barcelona and won multiple major honours during his 12-year spell with the Spanish club.
Ajax technical director Jordi Cruyff welcomed the experienced goalkeeper, describing him as an immediate boost to the squad.
Ter Stegen joins an ambitious rebuild in Amsterdam following a disappointing Eredivisie campaign, becoming one of several high-profile arrivals this summer.
Barcelona will continue to cover most of Ter Stegen’s salary during the loan, with the deal running until the end of the 2026-27 season.
The move offers the veteran goalkeeper an opportunity for regular football after recent injury setbacks limited his appearances.
