On Friday, Barcelona’s German goalkeeper had his move to Ajax all but finalized. His trip to the Netherlands seemed certain, and Barça had given its approval. But it now appears that everything is falling apart again in what has become one of LaLiga’s transfer sagas of the summer.

The parties are once again refusing to budge. What seemed like a mere formality has become complicated again. The issue is no longer only tax-related; in recent hours, a disagreement has also emerged over how the goalkeeper’s salary will be divided.

Barcelona, due to Financial Fair Play constraints, is unwilling to give way. Ajax, for its part, is unable to take any further steps toward signing Marc-André ter Stegen. The situation is at a standstill once again, with no easy solution in sight.

What seems most likely is that everything will be resolved in the coming days. In the meantime, Marc will remain in Barcelona.

To facilitate his loan move to Ajax, Barça has presented a counterproposal to the goalkeeper in an effort to definitively resolve the tax-related discrepancies.

The German goalkeeper views the initiative from the Catalan club positively and is confident that the figures can be made to work.

The Dutch club does not understand the delay, especially now that the official season has already begun, and its patience is not unlimited.
