Marc-Andre ter Stegen will spend the season at Ajax after joining the Dutch club on loan from Barcelona, hoping regular playing time can revive both his club career and his chances of reclaiming a place in Germany's national team under new coach Jürgen Klopp.
The 34-year-old goalkeeper completed a season-long move on Tuesday in a deal that reunites him with Ajax coach Michel Sanchez, who previously worked with Ter Stegen during the goalkeeper's brief loan spell at Girona.
The agreement runs through June 30, 2027, contains no purchase option, and leaves Ter Stegen under contract with Barcelona until 2028.
Ajax technical director Jordi Cruijff, who finalized the move alongside Barcelona sporting director Deco, believes the veteran goalkeeper will provide immediate leadership and quality.
"Marc has an outstanding track record, and his qualities are widely recognized," Cruijff said. "He is a direct reinforcement for our squad. Marc and I know each other well and I look forward to working with him again."
