Few things:
1-Tek didn't renew, and he might never as he could be waiting for the situation to finalize
2-Tek might stay as 3rd GK, and we get the option of loaning our youngsters for once (looking at Astralaga and Yaakob.
3-I won't mind Ter Stegen staying and it is logical move. Joan Garcia is atm, a one season wonder.
If Marc is entertaining his chances against him, so be it. Let's so how it goes next year. Will Garcia take his game to the next level or get back to being a relegation level GK? If it is a former, then getting rid of Ter Stegen will be easier than now, if Joan is a bust, well, at least we still kept what we have.
Finances is obvious hardle, but Deco last interview suggest we might be doing decent there.

It will depend on Flick.
If Flick tells ter Stegen straight up he will be the #2 then he should leave himself, for his own sake as well. If Flick tells him he need to compete
for the spot then I don't have an issue with him staying, but the club don't sign a GK like this just to bench him.
So even in a matter of a pre-season competition it is very likely Joan Garcia starts the season as the #1.
In that case ter Stegen need to stay professional and not complain, and not play the media game either. Something he has done before with Claudio Bravo, although Bravo himself was hardly a saint there.
We don't need these distractions mid-season. So if ter Stegen loses out the competition and is on the bench then he and his entourage/agent need to shut up and work in peace and if he then want to leave in January it can be considered.

Sure, he should stay professional, and so does the club.
But it's the club that used the media to kick out players since Laporta come back. It is something we need to learn that it will backfire.
Marc renewal, with deferred salary, was initiated by the board. He and his agent has the right to be pissed if he is told to get out. He could have been free agent now if they wanted.
If he wants to stay and compete, it is his right. And Flick has every right to handle the squad the way he sees it.

He's by no means a guaranteed success, but that's not due to lack of talent.
We just don't have the sample size of 3+ seasons Mamardashvili for example had.
I think he will be very good for us, but as with everything it also depends on how he's able to cope with the pressure. Other GKs before have failed at Barca due to the pressure.

Yes indeed, GK and LF is the top most important positions we can upgrade.
I see why the club wants Diaz, but the age profile is wrong.

Another Barça spot in the Spain national team
Will he play in nations league vs France?

I just see he's not even called up tf
LDF will keep trusting that moron Simon probably
DonAK

Good thing he wasn't.
Saved us 5m. His buyout would have gone up to 30m.
Although it is reported he will be called up to the next set of games. LDF apparently didn't want to make big changes before the Nations League finals
Already have Real Madrid fans salty claiming he's doing it on purpose to help us.

Both Raya and Simon are better GK atm, Simon numbers in La Liga are insane btw.
3rd spot will be wide open. But this could be a Valdes type of situation.
One year ago, Arnau Tenas was starting over him in the Olympics and no one complained. Let's take it easy.
