Don't blame Ter Stegen for contracts offered to him by Barca boards.
They are a sleazy bunch. They make foolish decisions and overpay.
Then, after few years, they run smear press campaigns.
I don't blame him. In fact he helped the club's balances during Covid by deferring and then extending. Now he earns more in his last years than he normally would have, same as Frenkie did. But it's also the club's choice to keep him on the bench, because he lost his spot. That's why I said, he has a choice to make for himself. Money or career. He's in the autumn of his career, given his injuries maybe even early winter already. You only have one career, so think carefully.
My opinion is just Deco shouldn't allow him to cherry pick. Play somewhere, revive your career and keep being paid by Barca. He was too much of an asshole for Barca to consider this option, at least I hope so. The smear campaigns against players are disgusting, I agree.
The Girona rumour should be a joke, what will they pay him, 10%?
